Distance to the Slopes in Soll

I'm off to Soll for New Year and would like to hear from anyone that has been there. I've heard that the slopes aren't that close to the resort. Anyone had any first hand experience of this? I'm a bit worried that there will be more walking involved than skiing and Apres Ski!! :wink:

Not been but I have friends who have been and yes the slopes are away from the village, but they didn`t mind it. It`s about a 15 minute walk to the gondola under the road...there`s a pedestrian walkway apparently. The buses were sporadic and crowded, but they used to get a taxi from their hotel for about 7 euros to save any bother!!! Whether you still can, I don`t know, but you used to be able to leave your skis at the bottom of the gondola for a charge so you don`t have to walk back and forth with them. As long as you know that there is a walk to the lift, you should be able to work round it. Good Luck!

I was there last year and I never had any issue with the slopes being far from my residence. In fact the walk did me more good than harm.

hey, i was there in march 05 and from the hotel it was less than a 5 min walk to the locker room where you left your ski's. once you have your skis its about a 200m walk to fist drag (over snow) lift which leads to 1st gondela, or you can walk the same distance as drag lift will take you around the path.

i have to say it is 1 of the best ski place imaginable.
hope you enjoy.

PS has anyone been to alpbach not far from soll im going over new year and it looks as though there arnt many runs anyone know any different?
