The downside

Summary
Söll has long been popular with British beginners and intermediates, attracting both youths looking for fun and families looking for a quiet time. The resort is in fact far from ideal for beginners, but when the snow is good the SkiWelt can be a great area for intermediates who like easy cruising. Many visitors are surprised by the small size of the village (there aren’t many shops) and the long trek out to the slopes. You may prefer to stay near the lifts and trek into the village in the evening. Or you may prefer, like us, to stay in one of the other SkiWelt resorts – Ellmau along the valley (which has its own chapter) or Westendorf over the hill (covered at the end of this chapter).
News – this season 2011/12
The 3.5km toboggan run is now floodlit till 10.30pm every night. Parents can buy one pass between two which either can use. The Hopfgarten home run was improved, with snowmaking to valley level.
News – last season
An eight-pack, with child safety bar, replaced the Osthang quad from the bottom of the Eiberg quads up to Brandstadl.
