Söll is one of the principal ski-holiday villages of the region Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser. It is located beneath the conical Hohe Salve peak, the highest point in the ski area. The Hohe Salve also offers some of the most breath-taking skiing in the entire region with black and red classified ski runs as well as ski routes from the top lift station. The Hohe Salve has an attractive church located on its peak as well as a mountain restaurant that features a revolving terrace, offering a panoramic view of the region. Further ski holiday resorts in the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser region are Itter, Scheffau, Ellmau, Going, Brixen and Hopfgarten. A new lift is scheduled to open for the 2008/09 ski season that will link Brixen to Westendorf and furthermore to Kitzbühel, thus creating one of the biggest ski regions in the world. After dark Söll offers one of the best apres-ski scenes in Austria, with slope-side bars offering dancing and drinking until late in the night. In some cases, ski buses are necessary to reach the ski lifts from the accommodation.
There are several sights in Söll:
Soll is part of the "Ski Welt" area, the largest interconnected ski area in the whole of Austria, and it boasts around 250km of downhill ski trails. It is now possible to connect to the resort of Kitzbuehel from Westendorf (ski welt) thanks to a new gondola that has been constructed, although it is only possible to ski this area with the "Kitzbuehler Alpen" ski pass. This means that you will have a very large expanse of ski terrain to enjoy at your fingertips!
