Sölden Sets Seasonal Alcohol-Free Zone on Dorfstraße Starting Dec. 1

Officials say the measure addresses après-ski disturbances, with its effectiveness assessed after the season.

Overview

  • The ordinance, approved by the municipal council, runs from December 1, 2025 through April 19, 2026.
  • It covers the stretch of Dorfstraße between the Giggijoch and Gaislachkogel lifts and adjacent areas including the residential care home and the student daycare.
  • Within the zone, consuming alcohol in public and carrying open bottles or cups is prohibited.
  • Security authorities will conduct continuous checks, with fines for violations reaching up to €2,000.
  • Local hospitality operators were consulted on the rules, and accommodation providers will brief guests after earlier noise-enforcement efforts failed to solve the problem.
