First went to Soll in 2006 and went back again from 05/01/08 - 12/01/08. I stayed in a small pension on my first visit that was quite some distance from the town and slopes. This time I stayed in Hotel Austria that is in a perfect location. Just a short walk to the slopes and in the middle of the village. The bars and restaurants are all good, especially pizza from Giovanni’s. If you are hiring skis and boots don’t get them from the hire place in the garage as you will pay twice the price. It's well worth trying a hire shop that I think was called Sport Mayer. To find it walk out of the Hotel Austria turn right and walk down the street, you will then see it on the left hand side. The ski area is great and once you have got the hang of the sketchy map you can easily ski to the other resorts, but watch out as they close the lifts at 4. I always go the Salven stadl straight after the slopes, great atmosphere and really friendly people. Soll is such a great place for a ski holiday, I love the place and will be going back there again for a few days in March, can't wait!!!

Went to soll in 2005 for Xmas so my children could see snow for the first time. We stayed at the Feldwebel hotel in the centre of Soll that was walking distance to the drag lift that took us to the main lift station. The hotel staff were very helpful and the rooms were clean. The food was good and had much to choose from. Plenty to do in Soll considering that it’s only a small village. The bars are good and you don’t get ripped off with the prices like in bigger towns. Soll also has a sleigh ride that goes through the forest and follows the river through the countryside ending up at a house where hot drinks are served and it also gives the horses a rest before the return ride. The children thought it was magical (so did I!). The lift queues can get long first thing in the morning, but you get that at every resort. The ski runs were good, well sign posted and some quite challenging, but I think the blue runs for a beginner can be a little bit to hard in one or two places. The views from the top of the mountains are beautiful and breath taking. We went to France (Meribel) the following year and found that it was not as good as Soll. It was very crowded, expensive and the French could be very rude at times. So this year were going back to Soll where the people are much friendlier and where we know that we’re going to have a good time.

Hi skiers. Going to Soll again for our fifth year over Christmas. Great fun; give the kids the opportunity to stay in the UK for Christmas and they want to go again.....but it's worth it. Found some great friends and pubs. Looks like we are going to have a great time also this year as lots of snow already. Looking at going again in our motorhome in Feb. Anybody been in a motorhome before?. Would love your comments. ;o))))

Hi all skiers, Soll has good night life, restaurants and hotels. The slopes needed more snow but were well looked after! Loads of runs, lifts etc. We all had great fun skiing around the mountains so much that we are all going again with even more of us in Jan. Lets just hope that there's more snow than last year. See you there skiers ;o)

Soll, Austria...wow. It was my first skiing holiday and I found it terrific. I was snowboarding last year and again this year. I stayed on the mountain near Soll but I was never left bored. Yes, the piste map is incredibly confusing, but it is probably really old. The ski garage is amazing, best idea ever. You won't have to carry your gear any further than 20 meters from the bottom of the slopes (presuming you take the home run and continue down the baby run to the garage) and in the morning all you have to do is pop your gear on 20 meters from the entrance of it and take the button lift (ski tow) to the gondola station. We found the nightlife to be a little lacking, but we were back in the hotel early to get up first for fresh snow. Our only problem was that the snow was absent for four days before we arrived and three after so some slopes were getting bare but the snow cannons were working all night and they were well maintained over night. We stayed in the Ferrian Fuks hotel, advertised as being in the town but it was actually a five minute walk to the far side of it. Disappointing, but we ended up walking to the garage and the base with no problems in the morning and were in fact first on the slopes, with time to travel up the gondola and take the home run back before our lessons started at 10 at the top of the gondola.

Hi all, Just got back from Soll. They badly need snow. Found the slopes very busy. A lot of people traveled in to find snow etc. Soll has lots of runs. Nothing too hard. Slopes well groomed at night but they turn very moguley come evening. Found instructors and locals very friendly. Also, food was great value; 50 euros for a 3 course meal for two. Even less in some places. Good fun in bar Salven Stadl. Buffalo night club ends 6am ... Would highly recommend Soll depending on snow conditions.

Suited the intermidates amoung us well. Lots of reds and blues, with a few blacks. The snow was good when we were there. Beautiful views when the sun came out. The piste maps were a summary of the runs at best. Bit confusing for the first few days. Lifts start closing from 4 o clock onwards, so you could end up sking to one of the other villages with an expensive taxi home. Not many blue slopes around Soll for the beginners to move to from the green slope. Soll accommodation was booked out when we were there,but there was little queues at the lifts. Some runs got busy, but overall the area could cope with the crowd. Good fun afterwards with a few good bars. Stayed in hotel Eggerwirt half board. Rooms were fine and clean as was the food. We went with Inghams,but sorted out ski equipment ourselves (despite the hard sell from them when we arrived.) They also messed up the lift passes for the beginers which resulted in them missing a half day of lessons. Soll is a great place to go,especially for intermidiates. I would go back to the Skiwelt area ,but may stay in Scheffeu for easier access to the slopes.

I recently spent a week in Soll over the February half-term week. Despite it being a busy week with added sunshine and excellent snow conditions, the lift queues weren't too bad at all. The skiing is relatively easy (blues/reds), with few challenging runs (blacks). By far the best runs are the numerous long home runs to each resort in the Ski Welt region (mainly reds), the red run to Ellmau and run 111 in Westendorf being my favourites. As long as you don't ski these at the end of the day, they are usually relatively quiet. The higher runs in the linked part of the Ski Welt area are rather short, and tend to be busier. A few runs used to get around the Ski Welt area tend to dangerously cross at right angles to each other! The Ski Welt area can take some time to navigate, and although the lift system is efficient, it could be designed a bit better to speed up getting around the area. Allow at least 2 hours to get back to Soll from Ellmau for example. The signposting and run marking is excellent, however, the piste map is very misleading. Soll is a pretty village, centred around an impressive church. A 15 minute slow walk (or a bus that runs approx every 20mins) is required to get from the centre of Soll to the ski hire shop/ski garage, and ski tow. This ski tow will take you 500m to the gondola station. I would advise using the above mentioned ski garage to leave you skis overnight, as getting from the centre of Soll to the gondola with skis twice a day would be a bit of a chore! I stayed in the Hotel Austria in Soll. The food was good, but the hot water sometimes ran out, and the heating was somewhat variable!
