About us

More than 80 years of tradition and innovation: the Glanzer family business in Sölden is committed to the best service, international top brands and alpine lifestyle all year round with its employees.

A success story for 80 years

The foundation stone was laid for Glanzer, our Sölden-based company, more than eight decades ago. Locals and guests conquered the mountains and snow-covered slopes with "made-to-measure Glanzer footwear" and the first leather ski boots. Today, we are the third generation of the family to run the company.
Always keeping up with the times. Sölden was catapulted into first place among the leading winter sports resorts in the Alps with the opening of the Gaislachkoglbahn cable car in 1966. The Glanzer family responded promptly to this and captured the spirit of the times with their own ski hire. A flair for current trends & innovations in sports, fashion and lifestyle is still one of our most important success factors today.

Our long-standing employees feel just at home with us as our customers – guaranteeing satisfied guests!

OUR PARTNERS  

Manifesto
Manifesto 

The Glanzer family was one of the first to run a business in Sölden. Starting out as a small shoe shop, we grew steadily and our activities developed from sports and fashion to flat blocks.

As a family-run business, we are still a guarantor of continuous growth and consistent further development today.

Glanzer - Sölden 1936 stands for service and performance. When we talk about service, we mean the enthusiasm of our customers through social interaction and conviviality. As is customary in families, handshake quality counts for us; service-orientation also means constantly developing new offers that inspire our customers. 
Ideally, as Glanzer 1936, we can provide sports enthusiasts in our region with everything they need, from accommodation and sports equipment to souvenirs for friends and family.
The value of performance is important to us, because this is the only way we can live service-orientation. Performance means that we master our professional challenges and are committed. We are precise, but also motivated to constantly improve and prove ourselves. This applies to all of our services, from the sports programme to living in glanz & glory.

The most important value in our differentiation is freedom. By freedom, we mean enjoying the feeling of vastness and greatness, lingering in the moment. How can you experience freedom through and with Glanzer 1936?
As an employee, we want you to be able to get involved, to shape things within the scope of your possibilities and to make your own decisions in your area of work. We support you in trying out new things and offer you activities. Freedom also requires personal growth, and we want to encourage that.
How can our customers experience freedom? First and foremost through nature, the feeling of freedom on the mountain top, but also through value guarantees and financing, through services such as the return or serving of skis in all shops, the early return of rental equipment with a money-back option.

We want to spoil you, be honest, original and really good at what we do. A wide selection and variety are just as important for freedom as an experience. We focus on personalised service and use high-quality regional food to make our customers feel good, but also for you as an employee.

For us, freedom is not a word but an attitude.

Glanzer - Sölden 1936 is a leading business in Sölden that is fundamentally different from others. It is our obligation to maintain and  further expand this position as a leading company in the coming years.

And with us, let this be "Your Move to Freedom".
