Soll
The information provided is purely advisory and was correct at the time of posting
but cannot be guaranteed and should not be relied upon without further corroboration.
The Ski Welt area is one of the largest in Austria with a total of 250km of pistes.
However, its component parts make the territory rather similar, as it's basically made up
of a number of smaller, lift- or bus-linked resorts. You can also access the massive
'Kitzbuheler Alpen' pass for nearly 700km of runs. The traditional view of Soll is of a
pretty, cheaper, louder alternative to other Austrian villages, with good nightlife and
inexpensive accommodation. While this is still partially true, the resort has consciously
tried to up its family appeal by improving its ski school and childcare. Brits make up 20%
of all visitors, with the ski area providing good beginner and lower intermediate skiing,
decent but inexpensive nightlife and short transfers (45 minutes to Innsbruck). Advanced
skiers won't find much to enjoy apart from some off-piste and boarders will only really want
to try Soll if they are beginners or lower intermediates. There is a short bus journey to
get to the lifts, which have been upgraded to decrease the queues.
Eating out tends to be in the hotel restaurants, while mountain eateries are good but
crowded. Soll has a poor snow record and this can really affect a holiday. The SkiWelt
has invested heavily in snowmaking facilities (100km of pistes now covered), but
Westendorf's altitude is low (622m), shortening the season. However, there are some decent
non-skiing activities (walking, sightseeing and indoor sports).
Overall, Soll is a pretty good resort, with lower costs, fine skiing for lower abilities
and lively après-ski.
