Söll is the liveliest of the four Wilder Kaiser villages, with a gondola from the village up to the Hexenwasser family trail and the Hohe Salve, and the sharp peaks of the Kaiser lined up across the valley.
It’s the village most English-speaking visitors to the Wilder Kaiser know first, thanks to its ski slopes, its après-ski and a St. Patrick’s Day week you won’t find anywhere else in the region. In summer it turns into one of the best family hiking bases in Tyrol, Austria.

Is Söll a Good Place to Stay in the Wilder Kaiser?
TL;DR: Yes. Söll is the best place to stay in the Wilder Kaiser for skiers who want après-ski and for families in summer, because the gondola from the village goes straight up to the Hexenwasser trail and into the SkiWelt ski area.
The Wilder Kaiser region is four villages along the valley below the Kaiser mountains: Söll, Scheffau, Ellmau and Going. Söll is the westernmost, closest to Kufstein and the Inn valley, and the one with the most going on after dark.
The Hexenwasser gondola runs from the valley to Hochsöll, where the Hexenwasser trail has Kneipp pools, water stations and barefoot paths for children in summer. From there, another lift carries on to the summit of the Hohe Salve at 1,829 m (6,001 ft). In winter the same lifts take you into the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, one of the largest ski areas in Austria.
Down in the village there’s the Ahornsee, a small lake with sunbathing lawns, and a summer program of weekly evening events and a Bergdoktor festival. Our Wilder Kaiser summer guide and Wilder Kaiser ski guide cover all four villages.
Where to Stay in Söll: Village, Mountain or Pirchmoos
TL;DR: Stay in the village center of Söll for the gondola, the restaurants and the après-ski, up at Hochsöll for ski-to-door access, or in the quieter hamlets around the village for space and views.
The village center, along the main street called Dorf, is where you’ll find Der Postwirt, Hotel Eggerwirt, the Tennenwirt Hotel and the Rainer apartments. The gondola, the ski bus and the bars are all a short stroll away.
On the slopes at Hochsöll and at Stampfanger, you can ski to the door. Alpengasthof Hochsöll sits right on the piste, and the Hexenalm and Moonlight Apartments at Stampfanger both list ski-to-door access.
The hamlets around Söll, like Pirchmoos and Reit, are a few minutes out of the center, with bigger gardens and wide views of the Kaiser. Beim Hochfilzer, Der Greil and Hotel AlpenSchlössl are out here, and the free ski bus links them with the lift in winter.
