Sölden
Austria
Rail route: Eurostar from St Pancras to
Amsterdam,
where the Alpen Express sleeper train pulls into Solden’s station
in time for a day’s skiing.
With three towering 3,000m peaks, Sölden’s Big 3 Rally draws in
those eager to challenge themselves on the slopes. Spend days
working your way across Sölden’s 144km of slopes, or try the nearby
linked glacier areas of Rettenbach or Tiefenbach. Reward yourself
with celebratory drinks at outdoor ice bar at Après Ski Philipp, or emulate Bond’s secret-agent
suaveness (Sölden’ is 007’s favoured resort) head to the
glass-walled Ice Q, a restaurant with views over the
pistes.
