Tiefenbachkogl Viewing Platform
Tiefenbachkogl
One of the BIG3, a 3,250-meter cantilevered viewing platform jutting out from the cliff. It faces Wildspitze, the second-highest peak in Austria, and looks out to the Dolomites.
From the Tiefenbach Glacier car park, it takes about 10 minutes by the Tiefenbachkogl cable car to reach the summit. The metal viewing platform overhangs the cliff by nearly 10 meters, with hundreds of meters of drop below. On clear days you can see Wildspitze (3,768 meters), Weisskugel, the South Tyrol mountains, and the Dolomites. It is one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Sölden. To get there, you first drive or take a bus along the glacier road to the glacier car park. Cable car tickets are purchased separately (check the official website). Temperatures at the summit often hover around zero, so bring a warm jacket even in summer.
Opening hours
Cable car approx. 09:00–16:00 (season hours per official site)
