We land at Innsbruck 10:10 am so we should be in Solden between 12-1pm at the latest??

They sell tickets from 12,1 and 2pm but i was looking for a gentle free slope to get the ski legs back

thanks

Lots of gentle stuff off the lifts at the top of the Giggijoch, but you'll need a ticket to get up there.

The nursery area at Innerwald, reached from town on the Zentrum Shuttle mini-funicular, has two lifts for which they sell a half day ticket. When I was there two seasons ago, it was 5 Euros for kids and 7 Euros for an adult. Not free but cheap enough to get your ski legs back again.

Perfect location - the Gaislachkoglbahn rarely has queues compared to Giggijochbahn.

Places to eat - too many to mention and I most enjoyed a restaurant someway out in Zwieselstein (14Euros in a taxi from town).

Nightlife - mental. Spoilt for choice.

Didn't hire, but there's a very convenient shop at the foot of the Gaislachkoglbahn with ski lockers in the basement.

Do the Big 3, get up to the glacier, enjoy the big cruise back down. The top of the top section of the Gaislachkogl is a steep red, should be black, a bit like the Schilthorn - great fun.

Careful if you get out at the mid-station - turn left to black run city, right is an easy blue. I made the wrong turning on the first morning and tested myself a little harder than I was anticipating!!!

Sorry, I can't, but it was only a few Euros a day and very much worth it.

Edit: I found some old receipts. The shop is Sporthutte Fiegl and it was 20 Euro for six days.
