WE LIKE

Local slopes are the highest in the SkiWelt and north-facing, so they keep their snow relatively well. Runs suit intermediates better.
Access to the SkiWelt, Austrias largest linked ski and snowboard area. This opens up an amazing 279kms of ski area.
Pretty and traditional Tyrolean village with lively après-ski. Good budget accommodation available.

WE DON'T LIKE

Low altitude can mean poor snow - especially down in the resort.
Ski area is 1 km away from the village, ski bus does exist but can get very crowded.
Close to home there's not much challenging marked piste and no terrain park.

On the Slopes

As you'd expect, ski Söll and your ski holidays offer something for every level of skier - if you don't find what you want locally, you can head into the neighbouring resorts of the 'Kitzbüheler Alpen'. For beginners the gentle nursery slopes are based on the edge of the village. You also have the gondola that takes you up the Höhe Salve for some more gentle slopes and wide blues. Intermediates probably have the most pistes - and there's an excellent choice of blues and reds.

For experts there's not only some great marked pistes, but also the back of the Höhe Salve has some excellent runs and equally impressive off-piste if you dare! Boarders are very welcome in Söll although there is no terrain park. Freeriders can head to the Höhe Salve for pistes and off piste and the Westendorf terrain park is the place for freestylers.

Ski Area

If you ski Söll you are also in the ski region of SkiWelt.

Off the Slopes

A pretty traditional Tyrolean village, Söll has a pedestrianised centre which is packed with restaurants, bars and clubs to offer a vibrant, varied nightlife. Restaurants cater for international tastes and also those who want to sample local fare - good choices are Café Dorfstub'n, Al Dente, Venezia and Postwirt, while popular nightspots include Dorfstub'n, the Moonlight Bar and Whisky Mühle. There are plenty of other activities to keep you busy including a sports centre with indoor and outdoor pools, and ice skating on Lake Moorsee.

Who's it Best For?

Intermediates will love it here. It's also good for large mixed groups as there is good access to the SkiWelt, Austrias largest linked ski and snowboard area.

Whether you are looking for an intimate one bedroom chalet with ski in ski out positioning or you want a large chalet right in the centre of the resort we can help.

Söll is a large village with everything centred around an onion domed church. It has had something of a' lads drinking' resort image which hasn't always attracted families to the resort although they are trying to change that by offering lots of ski deals to families with young children.

Where to Look For a Chalet in Söll

One of the downsides of staying in Söll is that most of the accommodation is spread out quite a way from the centre of the village. There is a local ski bus you can catch or you will need to be prepared to walk 15 minutes to get to the slopes which may not be your idea of fun if you have young children!

You may also want to watch out if you have young children as the centre of Söll is renowned for very lively apres ski so if you can get accommodation nearer the slopes it may work out a little noisy. Söll has a reputation for offering cheaper accommodation than elsewhere in the area so you could also get a real bargain here.

CHALETS

Apartments can work out a great idea for a ski holiday. They are often cheaper than a chalet and many of the newer developments offer facilities that would rival many a hotel including swimming pools, saunas and spas.

Accommodation in Söll is cheaper than elsewhere in the region so you will get a good bargain here. Do watch apartments in the centre of Söll though as it can get a little lively here. There are also a number of aparthotels as well including the Aparthotel Bergland which is situated conveniently across the road from the ski lifts.

Are Apartments Really Such a Good Idea?

Well they can work out cheaper and as we have said now offer really good facilities. Many skiers can get a bit sniffy about apartments because for years they have had an image of the concrete monstrosities from the 1960's purpose built ski resort. But don't discount them because they offer such good value.

They can also be a great idea for families travelling together and also large groups. If you book in the same block you will get to be together but also have more space and independence than you may get in a traditional chalet.

What Hotels are Available in Söll

There are a mixture of hotels here including some good 4* hotels and more basic 2*. The key thing to bear in mind is that in Söll much of the accommodation is a little removed from the slopes and the centre of the resort which can mean you have to bus in each morning or have a good 15 minute walk, so do check location very carefully.

4* hotels include the Hotel Postwirt which has the advantage of being in the village centre. Another is the Hotel Alpenschlossl with a great indoor pool. 3*'s to check out include Hotel Gansleit and Aparthotel Bergland.
