*************

Sölden is a municipality in the Ötztal valley of Tyrol, Austria. At c. 467 km² (180 sq mi), it is the largest municipality in the country. The population of 3,449 (as of 2003) is outnumbered by tourists, of which 15,000 can be accommodated. With tourist bed nights running at over two million per year, the municipality is third only to Vienna and Salzburg as an Austrian tourist destination. Sölden has lost some its former small village charm, but other attractions have been enhanced in recent years.

The main village of Sölden is at 1368 m (4,488 ft) above sea level. The highest peak is the Wildspitze, at 3768 m (12,362 ft) is the second highest mountain in Austria, after the Großglockner.

Sölden is also a popular ski resort. The first World Cup race of the year usually takes place there in late October. However, the scheduled race for 2006 was cancelled due to weather.
