Uniqueness
A 17-metre infinity pool sits on the rooftop, 17 metres above the streets of Sölden. Water meets sky. Three-thousand-metre Ötztal peaks fill every window. The Summit Spa spreads across 2,000 square metres on the fourth and fifth floors, with light-flooded relaxation rooms and panoramic glass. Below, an adults-only area holds nine saunas and steam baths, from a natural brine grotto at 40 degrees to a Finnish event sauna at 100.
Das Central pairs minimalist design with Tyrolean warmth. Natural materials, clean lines, and generous space define the rooms and suites. The Falstaff Spa Guide scored it 99 out of 100 in 2025. Heat and water shape everything here, a soothing counterpoint to the alpine intensity outside the door.
activities at das central – alpine . luxury . life
Sölden sits at the heart of the Ötztal valley, one of Tirol's most active mountain regions. Winter brings direct access to three glacier ski areas above 3,000 metres. Summer opens the same terrain to hikers and trail runners, with high-altitude routes crossing passes and ridgelines. The valley's cycling roads climb toward the Timmelsjoch pass. After a day in the mountains, the Summit Spa serves as the counterpoint, closing the loop between effort and rest.
