Have stayed in Soll a number of times, fantastic small town atmosphere, good apres-ski, always see familiar faces in the village, endless ski terrain, and probably the most welcoming host in Harry in the Soller Stuben.
Like a good friend of ours (see earlier posting) we have been visiting Soll for 30 years summer and winter.
Already mentioned is the fabulous Soller Stuben who did us a superb wedding reception.
No other place like it!
Have been going to Soll for 15 years and have met and made some good friends there. Food is excellent wherever you eat: Mirabelle cakes and ice cream is fabulous and the people make you feel really welcome. Can't wait to go back again.

We have been skiing in Söll for over 20 years. It just keeps drawing us back despite the fact we have skied in resorts all over the world. It's the total package we enjoy: plenty of runs to suit all abilities (how many English people ski blacks), good food at reasonable prices on the mountain, excellent lift system (one of the best in the world) and snow sure due to all the snow making.
There is good nightlife to be found - live music in the Salvenstaddle and in the back bar of the Postwirt Hotel to name but two venues.
Excellent hotels we can recommend: the Postwirt and the Gansleit. Friendly people.
Ideal beginners slope and plenty of runs to allow people to progress.
Top tip: don't worry if the ski bus is full, ask your hotel to book a taxi to the lift station. It costs about Euros 1.5 per person and cuts out all the hassle. If you fancy a trip to Ellmau or Scheffau, but you're not confident, you can ski there and back in a day then take a taxi to either resort and ski back.
Try Söll, you won't regret it.

Two weeks till we return to Söll for our favourite holiday of the year. Been going for 10 years and wouldn't consider changing. Skiing is always great and even when there was no snow at village level one year, we still had fantastic pistes and miles to explore. Never had any bother with queues and on the very rare occasion we had to wait (all of 5 mins) there wasn't the pushing and barging we experienced in Italy or France.
We began as a couple and the nightlife was great. But in recent years we have taken along our 4yr old and her brilliant nana who looks after her while we ski. Hoping to get Beth on the slopes for the first time this year!
We have never met friendlier locals - my mum has a great time out and about in the village with Beth! Our first port of call for lunch when we arrived 10 years ago was Dorfstubn and we still go regularly, in fact we are staying there this year for the first time. Soller Stuben is our favourite place to chill as Harry and his mum are SO friendly and my little girl just loves Anna, the waitress, who if it's not too busy, even gives her a notepad and lets her 'help' with the orders! The food is excellent, hearty and reasonably priced.
If you've never been to Söll, you really should give it a go. It is one of those places that inspires loyalty!

This will be my sixteenth year and Brigitte's tenth at Söll; twice a year when we can manage it. I've skied quite a few European resorts, but Söll always calls me back. The lift system is now second to none with flying sofas and bubbles all over the place, some with heated seats, and the pistes are always well looked after.
We always fly into Munich on Fri pm, pick up a hire car and drive to Söll (one and a half hours, even when busy). Stay for 8 nights, then back the following Sat pm.
We always stay with Margaret, Theo & Eva at the Mirabell, best cakes in Austria. It's also great for a relaxing and quiet apres-ski (showing my age here). All the restaurants are good, our favourites are Dorf Stubbn & Auf da Muhle.
We're going Jan 14 & March 4, counting the days.
By the way, the best ski shop in Söll is Steinbacker Snow & Fun. Go and have a chat with Martin & Stathis.
Recently returned yet again from the best place in the world - Söll. Been going for 30 years, summer and winter, so you'd expect me to say that. My kids were brought up visiting the mountains here and they, like my wife and I, return whenever they can.
It's the kind of place you hate leaving. The people are so friendly, the scenery so beautiful, the bars and restaurants so good....what more can be said.
Tips for people that don't know SSöll as well as us? Well, the friendliest restaurant and bar is the Soller Stuben, owned by the nicest mother and son team you can ever meet. Great food, beer and company - cannot be bettered.
Also try Bella Vita, Giovanni, Auf da Muhle or any number of other great places. For cakes, the best anywhere are at Mirabel.
Join us, and go back often. It's the place to be!
Just back from Soll. First time skiing - ski school for the week. What a fantasy week. Stayed in hotel Modlineing.
Highly recommended. Will be going back next year.
I used to live in Munich and ski at SkiWelt every weekend, but now in UK. Söll is a lovely town, everything you need with a choice. Hotel Eggelwert was friendly, warm and the bar bill much less than I expected.
Top tip for that wait from checkout to bus.
Go swimming, you can get a towel for 5E deposit, those not interested can sit in the cafe who does great salads and the normal wurst etc. Friendly staff with lots of space, much better than a crowded cafe in town. Even if not swimming its a easy place to sit and read a book.
