Söll
05333 / POP 3500 / ELEV 703M
Söll is a well-known ski resort 10km south of Kufstein. Once a favourite of boozy, bois-
terous visitors in the 1980s, the resort has successfully reinvented itself and is now a
family-oriented place with myriad outdoor activities.
The highest skiing area overlooking the resort is Hohe Salve at 1828m, though Söll has
also combined with neighbouring resorts Itter, Brixen, Scheffau, Hopfgarten and Going
to form the mammoth Skiwelt ( www.skiwelt.at ) area, comprising 279km of mostly red and
blue pistes. Passes are €44 a day in the high season. Cross-country skiing is also popular,
with trails running as far as St Johann in Tirol.
