We went for three days of skiing to Sölden in Austria over Christmas. The weather was cold and windy, but snow was new and perfect. There were not too many people over the Christmas days, so we had plenty of space on the slopes. Giggijoch is quite easy. The Tiefenbach Glacier is extremely wide and perfect for wide parallel swings. One of the longest descents I have ever experienced is from the top of the Seiterkar down to Sölden, about 12 km. A bit shorter but more challenging is the red descent from the Gaislachkogl on red slopes down to the village. Sölden is fantastic if you like long downhill descents.
