BMW M Driving Experience in Sölden

Steep, snow-covered mountain roads. Not a terrain that drivers are normally looking for. It is completely different for drivers participating in the BMW Driving Experience in Sölden. On the challenging surface, they learn to drive with foresight and control their vehicle even in extreme situations. Former police officer and later head of BMW driver training courses, Josef W. Bücherl, brought the successful format to the Ötztal.

Sölden as the perfect training base

Josef W. Bücherl had a similar experience in the early 1990s as a location scout for film sets. His mission? To find a suitable area for the winter units of the BMW driver training courses. The Bavarian and his colleagues from BMW found what they were looking for in the Ötztal. “We were incredibly lucky to find exactly what we were looking for,” says Bücherl.

Ideal terrain for man and machine

In addition to an area predestined for drifts and slides in the municipality of Längenfeld, the routes and practice areas in the glacial ski region were particularly impressive. This makes it the world’s highest driving training centre. The ascent from Sölden on the 13 km long glacier road with an average gradient of 11% up to the highest point of 2,830 m is a truly special experience. The appeal of the highest alpine road in the Eastern Alps is also shown by the fact that James Bond director Sam Mendes used it as a setting for a wild chase scene in “Spectre”.
