04/2007: Soll - The ski resort with everything!
Part of the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser Brixenthal region, and covering 250 kms of pistes, it is one of the largest interconnected ski areas in Austria. By purchasing the Kitzbuhler Alpen ski pass you can open up the possibilities even further (if you have the energy and speed!) to include the resorts between Westendorf and the famous Kitzbuhel. Ellmau boasts the fastest funicular access in Austria, whisking skiers into the heart of the skiing in 4 minutes!
Throughout the Wilder Kaiser ski area there are over 70 mountain huts, so you can basically stop for a rest or refreshment every 3.5 km…how’s that for laziness.
The majestic Hohe Salve peak above Soll has views of 70 peaks over 3000 meters. Attractive and wide pistes meander through areas of pine trees and provide great, cruising opportunities for beginner and intermediate skiers. As if this wasn’t enough…for the really keen there is night skiing at the mid-station and plans are afoot to expand this facility. Ski fun parks are situated in Ellmau and Westendorf.
There are 2 ski schools in Soll itself. The excellent , family-run, Soll Hochsoll Embacher Ski and Snowboard School is situated at the Bergland Hotel. A great choice for families with their super childrens programmes and ski activity centres on the mountain. Soll has 3 mini-clubs for children.
