Söll

Regarded as the liveliest resort in the SkiWelt, Söll is the main gateway to 280km of slopes in Austria’s largest interconnected ski network.

Söll is the kind of all-rounder that other ski resorts envy. It’s small but delivers on lively, affordable nightlife. It has also found the secret of appealing both to families and younger holidaymakers in search of the next party. Most importantly for skiers and boarders, its slopes are north-facing which means they hold the snow for longer.

Regarded as the liveliest resort in the SkiWelt, Söll is the main gateway to 280km of slopes in Austria’s largest ski network. It has extensive snow-making facilities and caters mainly for intermediates and beginners. 47 percent of its slopes are red, 45 percent are blue and 8 percent are black, although our spies tell us they veer towards the friendly side of black! Those in search of a challenge will enjoy the Hohe Salve run, and the very recent addition of the 10 seater gondola, Harkaiserbahn, adds to the fantastic ski area.

Another secret to Söll’s success is its night-time skiing, some of the best we’ve experienced with uncrowded, well-lit and immaculately groomed slopes to blast down. There are other fun-for-all post piste activities, including husky sledding, tobogganinging, ice skating, cross country skiing, winter walking, horse drawn sleigh rides, and the KiKo adventure farm is a must-visit for the kids!

There’s also a hugely enjoyable tobaggon run next to the flood-lit slopes. St Patrick’s Day is a must-see here with a parade, the night ski slopes are lit up in green and an array of events take place throughout the week.

For quality après-ski and nightlife, our Söll spies recommend the Moonlightba, and the Jamjar, a cool and casual bar run by musicians!
