I have skied in France, Andorra, Italy and Bulgaria but nowhere beats Austria. Soll is excellent, the skiwelt is fantastic, the night life is good (but you can drink at home; you're. there to ski). Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.

A mixed ability group of us went skiing over Xmas 2005. The resort is one of the best around, great skiing, friendly locals and good food at reasonable prices. The only down side is the lack of easy blues for beginners.

Retuned from soll 14th jan after a week of sunshine, found the slopes mostly red and wide ideal for carving. The off piste was extensive at the begining of the week but was tracked out later. Not many natural hits on the slopes but the best area was at Ellmau in the sun. Plenty of north facing runs to hold the snow in Soll. Scheffau or Srixen would be the best places to stay for a central location, Soll and the mountain resteruants served excellent food. Recommended if there is plenty of snow.

I have just returned from Soll and found it to be one of the most enjoyable winter sport holidays I have ever been on! The weather was absolutely fantastic with not a cloud in the sky for the week we were there! The slopes were in perfect condition and fairly quiet. The town boasts numerous bars in which to enjoy a bit of apres ski, Whisky Muhle is one of the most popular with friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks and live bands on 2 or 3 times a week it is definately worth a visit! Another favourite of ours was the Hotel Austria bar, nice atmosphere, pool tables, darts and good music. Most of the bars serve food but we found our home at Giovanni's Italian restaurant, across the road from Hotel Austria. The staff are very friendly, the food is fantastic and the prices again were very reasonable. This was my first visit to Austria and it most certainly wont be my last.

A group of us went Dec 04-Jan 05 to Soll and we loved every minute of it. I agree that our 2 beginners had trouble moving from the nursery slope to the blue/red run that nearly put them off but with swift assurance they had fun and learnt a lot! Bars & Restaurants always good and lots of apres ski, great snow, great location - deffo coming back but broke ankle in summer so next year now! Have fun you lucky snowblowers!

My wife and I visited Soll in early March 2005. there was 3 days of heavy snow after a couple of days of reasonable weather so then skiing was excellent including off piste for the rest of the week. Lift map is useless and the whole area is badly sign posted so we found it hard to get from one area to another. Dispite that the lifts were not busy and there is a vast area of skiing. The resort is better suited to intermediate skiing and my beginner wife had problems moving from the easy beginners slop up to the only blue/red run although this may have been due to the heavy slow fall. Mountain restaurants are excellent and great food and beer and the local white wine is great stuff. I would go there again but possibly stay in another resort in the Ski welt area with better access to the whole area

A picturesque resort the town being away from the ski area. A short bus ride to other resorts. The snow was poor when we were there but being grazing land it only needs a few inches of fresh snow to start the skiing again. Ski Instruction very good. The town had good night life but you did not see it unless you went looking. Also had a very nice public pool with outside hot tubs.

I visited Soll for the first time in January 2004 with a group of friends and it is great,reasonably short flight,short transfer, it is 'chocolate box pretty ' the view from the top of the Hoh Salve mountain is worth the trip alone ,good intermediate skiing but take a day trip to Westendorf as well. For nightlife the Whiskey Muhle takes some beating along with some excellent restaurants cant wait to go back
