Soll
Why it might suit you:
- Part of the SkiWelt: Söll is one of the main villages in Austria’s large SkiWelt domain (280 km of pistes), known for its extensive intermediate-friendly terrain.
- Scenic and lively village: Söll has a traditional Tyrolean charm, coupled with a fun après-ski scene—livelier than some of its neighboring SkiWelt resorts.
- Easy access from major airports: About 1–1.5 hours from Innsbruck or Salzburg and around 1.5–2 hours from Munich, making travel straightforward.
Potential drawbacks:
- Lower-altitude slopes: Base is around 700m, and top lifts reach ~1,800m; though snowmaking is extensive, warm spells can affect lower runs.
- Busy during peak weeks: Its popularity, especially among British and German skiers, means lift queues and crowded slopes in holiday periods.
- Not a mecca for advanced/expert skiers: While there are some challenging runs, the area primarily caters to beginners and intermediates.
