Situated 55 miles west of Innsbruck and just 200m from the main Sölden gondola, Camping Sölden is a luxury campsite with excellent facilities and a great position for exploring the wider Oetz valley ski area. With a free ski bus stop 50m from the site, it is well positioned for access to the Oetz valley winter sports areas at Oetz, Langenfeld, Hochgurgl, and Obergurgl. Camping Sölden also has glamping facilities in the form of heated barrels should you have any visitors or members of your party with no caravan or motorhome.

 

How to get to Camping Sölden

There are three options for your journey to Camping Sölden;

  1. The shortest from Calais at 650 miles is via Luxembourg on the E25, the A13 & A8 in Germany to the A7 and south over the Fernpass (nearest LPG) on the 179. The campsite is situated on the 186 Oetztal Strasse about 25 miles from Imst and is easy to access without the need for a Vignette or GoBox by following 179, 184 to Imst, then 171 & 186 into the valley. The drive up the 186 past Oetz, Umhausen and Langenfeld is very attractive and does include some steep hairpins which may require chains in heavy snow. Continue on into Sölden until you see the main gondola on your left, turn left by the ski rental shop into Wohlfahrtstrasse and follow the road round to the right past the car park and along the riverside. The campsite entrance is 200m on your right.
  2. Alternatively, at around 730 miles if the Fernpass is closed carry on the A8 to Munich and onto the A93 to the border at Kufstein. From there follow the E45/A12 to the Brenner Pass (some toll free sections again in 2021/22). You can keep an eye on the Fernpass here and all mountain pass closures using Via Michelin here.
  3. For caravans: The better route will be to miss out Luxembourg and head for Koln, Wurzburg, and the A3 until Wurzburg where the A7 will take you south to the Fernpass and miss out some long tortuous hills. Alternatively stay on the A3 and then A9 past Nuremberg to Munich. From Munich follow A99/A8 to Kufstein and then as above. Mileage on these routes are around  675 & 750 miles respectively.

The campsite reception closes between 1300 & 1500, so if you arrive between these times you will have to park on Wohlfahrtstrasse to wait. It is a narrow road with limited parking beside the river and congestion can occur with passing vehicles, in peak periods it is recommended to park up before Sölden and wait for the site to reopen.

Good campsite. Close to main lift.
Solden has epic skiing including an endless red from top.
Site a little cramped and sauna cosy. Don’t arrive before 14.00 as not let in and tight parking. Easy access up valley apart from one hill hairpin. Main solden village has Russian influence including pole dance clubs Fun walk up to stubbe opposite side to ski fields and €5 toboggan ride back.
