Trend · 76 winters

The snow has held. The air has not.

Sölden's typical base has sat near 121cm since 1950, and a good winter still beats a bad one by 113cm, far more than any decade here differs from another. The winter freezing level has climbed 42m a decade.

Calibrated reanalysis, 1950–2025. Bars are each winter's mean base, rules each decade's mean. 2020–2025 holds 6 winters, not ten. Every figure here averages a full season, so none of them will match the readings for your chosen weeks above.

Method & sources

We weigh snow reliability against this resort's own history, add live conditions where we have them, then adjust for how hard the trip is for your group.
