Once the women's giant slalom is decided high up on the Rettenbach glacier, the World Cup Saturday in Sölden is only just getting started. What makes it so special up here is the unique combination of alpine autumn sunshine and genuine racing fever: after a day on our panoramic sun terrace or the surrounding bike trails, the atmosphere seamlessly shifts into fine dining and atmospheric DJ sets in the evening. Together with the directly adjacent Grünwald Resort—complete with a wellness area and heated outdoor pool—this creates an all-in-one experience you won't find anywhere else in Sölden.
On World Cup Saturday, we turn an action-packed race day into a long, unforgettable night. The evening begins comfortably with a classic cheese fondue or our refined à la carte menu, before DJ Foxdahill rings in the World Cup Night later in the evening. The best part: you keep your table for the entire night, transitioning smoothly from dinner to the party. While the valley below often gets overcrowded, you stay in one perfect spot: dinner, then party—no location changes needed, right above the lights of the valley.
