Water temperature…
Söll is located in a sunny valley basin between the Wilder Kaiser and the Hohe Salve mountains. The village has maintained its traditional character, featuring beautifully painted farmhouse facades and a grand baroque church. As part of the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, it features access to hundreds of kilometers of slopes. Söll stands out for its night activities, boasting Austria's largest night-skiing resort with illuminated runs and toboggan tracks. The Hohe Salve peak, Söll’s home mountain, is renowned as one of Tyrol's best viewpoints, featuring a unique 360-degree rotating terrace at the summit. In summer, 'Hexenwasser' (Witches' Water) is the main draw, a nature adventure park at the middle station famous for its long barefoot trail and water-based learning stations. The region is a paradise for hikers and cyclists seeking scenic alpine routes. Culturally and culinarily, Söll gives a high density of traditional inns serving local specialties like Tyrolean Gröstl. The village is very family-oriented but also has a lively nightlife. Reachable via the Inntal motorway (exit Kufstein-Süd), Söll perfectly blends high-end sport facilities with the authentic feel of a Tyrolean farming village.
