Millie10, I'm sure they must include transfer.
Soll works really well for loads of different peeps. I guess the only downside is needing to walk or use the ski bus to get to/from lifts (unless you are staying up by the lifts of course - unlikely). Terrain is all blues and greens with the odd red bit thrown in - some find the main home run a bit steeper than they'd like. The night skiing is a must. Plenty of nightlife if you want it. The pools/sauna complex out towards the lift station is really great. Don't think you'll find any haters here.

I would classify Söll slightly differently from Bode Swiller. Down in the valley is blues and greens but up at Hochsöll, where the real skiing is, it is mostly reds with a black run down from the top of the Höhe Salve. The red home run, 40a, by the gondola is quite challenging but there is a blue alternative, 40 (with an improved snow-making system this year). And, of course, Söll is part of the SkiWelt area. Great for intermediate skiers who are happy on reds, mostly straightforward with the odd more challenging bit.

Had a short break there in January,and liked it.So...we is there for Christmas,flying out Christmas Eve Would echo what espri says.Mostly reds,but there is some challenging skiing if you search it out.Massive area with good resto's...just dont get lost,the piste map(IMHO)is pretty confusing at times  If staying in the town,regardless of what the rep says,I would advise keeping your skis here www.sport-edinger.at .Based at the gondola station itself,its an excellent facility(nice warm,dry boots every morning),and the guys there are really friendly...as is everyone else in Soll You can get the ski bus there and back,but we found it a pleasent walk,esp in the evening when you can wander around the town.Soll itself is pretty compact,some good restaurants(though book early if busy)Some noisy nightlife,if thats your thing,but also easy to find a quiet bar.All in all,a very nice place to spend a week

I went over last year and had a blast. Plenty of slopes, plenty of night life, plenty of Weinerscnitzel! (Although we did see a bar room brawl on the first night in one of the main bars and I'm talking almost full on spaghetti western style!!! but i'm sure that's a rarity, anywhere in fact )

Probably even slightly moreso now, for the new underpass for through traffic on the main road is now open.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

We've done a long weekend (5 days) every year for the last 5 or 6 years and have had a ball every time. Very affordable resort with a good selection of restaurants and bars. Huge ski area catering for most standards (IMO). As has been posted above you can opt for quiet or very lively. The Salven Stadl is a must for apres ski!! The Bella Vita and the Venezia restaurants are two we always eat in and have never had anything less than a great meal in both. If you want to treat yourself the Schindlhaus is one of my favourites of all time. I would second snowskisnow's recommendation on the Sport Edinger garage - super service and really friendly people. Haven't tried the night skiing yet (might have something to do with how much I love apres in the Salven Stadl!!) but the toboganning is brilliant fun. As I said, I've been to Soll a lot so ask away if you have any further questions!! To give you an indicator I've skied in Val d'Isere, St Anton, Lech, Ischgl over the last few years - loved them all but still adore Soll.

You know it makes sense.

Soll's great, skied a few times whilst staying in other Ski Welt areas and stayed in town for 2 weeks, great town and apres, friendly locals who seem genuinly happy that your there and great fast cruising on the skiing front, the opnly downside is the lack of steep challenging skiing but you can find your own lines if you get the snow.
one of my top 10 resorts.
