Three ski mountains, three platforms, one rally

The BIG 3 has existed in Sölden since 2003 and, as the name suggests, the BIG 3 platforms are real highlights in the Sölden ski area. They are located on three spectacular three-thousand metre peaks that are easily accessible by lift. In addition to the breathtaking panoramic views, a special challenge awaits ambitious skiers and snowboarders: the BIG 3 Rally. Here you ski down all three peaks in one tour and cover 5,200 metres in depth!

The three platforms.

Gaislachkogl viewing platform

A special highlight awaits you at 3,048 metres above sea level: right next to the Gaislachkoglbahn mountain station, you can climb to the summit of this impressive three-thousand metre peak in just a few steps. From there, a spectacular suspension bridge leads to the roof terrace of the famous ice Q, which was used as the location for the James Bond film Spectre. From the terrace, you can enjoy a breathtaking 360° panorama of the surrounding mountains in all their splendour - an unforgettable moment for every visitor.

 

Hint
The Gaislachkogl viewing platform is also accessible to pedestrians in winter.

Tiefenbach footbridge

A spectacular experience awaits you at an altitude of 3,250 metres: an impressive 15-metre-high pyramid sits enthroned directly at the Tiefenbachbahn mountain station. From here, a footbridge attached to sturdy steel cables leads a full 20 metres above the glacier abyss. The walkway ends seemingly in the airy void and offers you an unrivalled feeling of freedom - accompanied by a breathtaking view of the fascinating glacier landscape all around. A place that perfectly combines thrills and panoramic views.

 

Hint
The Tiefenbach viewing platform can only be reached on skis or snowboard in winter.

Schwarze Schneid nature platform

 

At an altitude of 3,340 metres, a unique highlight awaits you: from the Schwarze Schneidbahn mountain station, it's only a 90-metre walk to the impressive power pyramid in around 15 minutes. This is enthroned in the middle of a circular platform made of larch wood and offers you an unrivalled view. From here, your gaze extends across the majestic mountain landscape to the iconic peaks of the Dolomites - a moment that impressively reflects the power and beauty of the Alps.

 

Hint
In winter, the viewing platform of the Schwarze Schneid can only be reached on skis or snowboard.
