Sölden, the mountainous Austrian setting for one of Spectre’s most memorable action sequences

 Spectre is the first film in which we see 007 grace the piste.

And they couldn’t have chosen a better setting for it: over January and February, Daniel Craig, his co-stars and crew members (500 people, including 150 local film-makers, at the peak of activity) were heading up the slopes in Sölden, in the East Tyrol region of Austria.

Part of the reason they chose the location comes down to the guarantee of snow – its 150km of pistes reach up to a dizzying 3,250m, with access to two glaciers.
