The slopes
Beginners
Söll has an excellent ski school and gentle nursery slopes just on the edge of the village. The gondola system starts from here, taking improving novices up onto the Höhe Salve to enjoy several gentle slopes and incredible views. There is a lovely 2.5 mile 'family' run down through the trees back to the nursery slopes.
Intermediates
An excellent choice of blue and red runs to keep the intermediate happy. The Ski Welt area pass offers a superb choice of over 250kms of scenic runs connecting 90 lifts.
Advanced
There is an amazing choice of long, well maintained slopes on the circuit. The back of Söll's Höhe Salve also boasts several hair-raising blacks, plus exciting off-piste to really test the expert.
Snowboarding
Söll has a good attitude towards snowboarders. Freeriders should make a bee-line for the Höhe Salve. For those more concerned with jumping check out the half-pipe and snowboard park, or take yourself to the Westendorf area with its infamous freestyle park.
