AUDI FIS Ski World Cup Opening Sölden

Giant Slalom & Pure Thrill

Two days of Giant Slalom, world-class athletes, and an atmosphere you’ll never forget. Sölden opens the winter – and we at MIETSKI are right in the middle.

At MIETSKI, we live for winter. And nowhere do you feel the start of the season as strongly as at the AUDI FIS Ski World Cup Opening in Sölden. When the ski stars launch into the Giant Slalom on the Rettenbach Glacier, it’s more than just a race – it’s the moment winter truly begins.

Days before, the buzz is already in the air: stands being built, flags waving, fans arriving from all over the world. On Saturday the women race, on Sunday the men – both starting at over 3,000 m altitude with a breathtaking view across the glacier. The course itself? Steep, demanding, legendary. This is where the season’s tone is set.

For us at MIETSKI, this weekend is special every year. As the local ski rental, we know the vibe, the shortcuts, the best viewing spots. We’re not just providers – we’re fans, sharing the excitement. We know how it feels when the snow crunches under your boots, the athletes dive into the course, and the crowd holds its breath.

Our tip: Ski + World Cup in one day

Combine your ski day with the World Cup. In the morning, enjoy free slopes while preparations are underway up on the Rettenbach. Then switch into spectator mode – stands, music, adrenaline. And when the first racers shoot through the gates, you’ll be part of an atmosphere you can’t describe – only feel.

With MIETSKI Solden, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Your gear is ready when you arrive, perfectly serviced and brand-new. No hassle, just time to enjoy.

What to expect:

  • Saturday, 25 October 2025: Women’s Giant Slalom – first run around 10:00 am, second run from 1:00 pm.
  • Sunday, 26 October 2025: Men’s Giant Slalom, same schedule.
  • Location: Rettenbach Glacier, Sölden – start at 3,040 m, finish at 2,670 m.
  • Side program: Party mood in town, live music, and a true international fan community.

Our conclusion

The World Cup Opening in Sölden is more than a sports event – it’s the kick-off to winter. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll carry the mix of ski day, global flair, and mountain magic with you forever.

And we at MIETSKI make sure you’re fully prepared. With smart equipment, flexible service, and real local know-how. We keep it simple – so you can dive into the snow, the vibe, the moment.
