 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all as promised a quick run down on our holiday in Soll.
Hotel - we stayed in the Hotel Tyrol brilliant hotel, spacious rooms, nice bar area and the food was fantastic. Breakfast variety of cereals, toast, breads, ham's cheeses etc plus fruit juices and tea and coffee
Dinner - choice of main course very tasty and at least 3 courses every night plus soup and salad bar what you need after a hard day on the slopes.
Resort - lovely little village with 2 main night spots the Whiskey Muhle and the Salvesen Stadl, we preferred the Stadl as it had a better atmosphere and very close to the slopes for a bit of apres ski.
If you do eat out there is a little local restaurant opposite the whiskey muhle drinks where cheap and the food tasty and plentiful.
Beer is about 3 euro, some places sprits can be expensive
Skiing - wow what can i say absolutely superb plenty of snow and slopes. Would recommend going off to Westendorf as the views from the top of the mountain are fantastic and great runs over there.
If you go to Scheffeu and your worried about time dont panic you get a taxi back to Soll for 3 euro each which we did a couple of times.
Some of the blue runs are actually harder than the red runs so pick carefully and also if you can only ski blues it can be hard it you venture out of soll to actually get back there on blue runs.
You can ski right back to the gondola and a bit further down is one of the main ski rental places, if its not included pay the 7 euro's to leave your stuff in the ski garage well worth it, we had it included in our holiday price through Neilson.
Extras - you must do the toboggan run rent a toboggan from under the gondola as its less distance to carry it, 5 euro for the day, its great fun we loved it
I have skied Andorra and Bulgaria before but Soll by far wins its amazing definately going back next year
Vegas Pitch lovely to meet you at the hotel
Zobo hope you find this helpful
enjoy your skiing i am jealous of all those going out as i didnt want to come home

I'm going to be skiing from Itter the week after next. It's the next resort to Soll but covering the same area, so it's nice to know that you enjoyed it so much.
Thanks for the post.

Nice one - been there twice in March but the snow hasnt been the best. Having said that I loved the atmosphere there and where there was decent snow it was great. Lift system is second to none as well and prices are reasonable. We did the ski storage too, but at a place right below the gondola - edingers, i think, best money i have ever spent. I'd like to get back again too - but when the snow is good.
First time round we stayed in Itter - couple of drags gets you down the gondola, and if i recall theres a run that gets you moreorless back if you dont miss the last drag up - kinda reverse of going down, if you know what i mean!

Tonsky - Wow loved your post, am getting so excited now, just over a week to go. We have skiied Soll before but haven't actually stayed in the village, so really looking forward to it, thanks for the tips.
Westendorf looks like my kind of place so can't wait to ski there. My 2 kids did their first black runs last year and couldn't understand why I hadn't let them down them before, just trying to be a careful mum! My son loves to sit down on the back of his ski's when cruising along, I can't even attempt to be that flexible!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the post.

zobo watch your kids over at Westendorf straight from the gondola at the top is a black but its about 80% so only let them down it if they can cope with it.
There is a great blue / red all the way down to the other side of the mountain with a gondola back up or a great red all the way down straight back to the bottom of the mountain and it tags onto the gondola as brixen to take you back up so can recommend that. also very easy to get back into soll from there
when you look at the map the blue run at the bottom of lift number 7 does not exist so this is the only thing to be aware of as if you can only ski blues your need to go to scheffeu and get a taxi back this is the safest way to avoid injury
glad the post help and let me know how you get on

Yeah, that caught me out - that blue run is there, but access is from a couple of hundred metres up the piste that leads to lift 7 from the Hohe Salve.
Fortunately, I still had time to get round the mountain clockwise to get back to Soll. I don't think you can do that route only on blues, though.

glad we were not the only ones caught out then
it was about 15.45 and we were concernd about lift times and very tired legs so did risk the reds on the way bck so did the 2 blue runs to scheuffeu plus the appropriate lifts and got the scheuffeu gondola down just to be on the safe side
