Söll and the Hohe Salve
Lift, walking paths and mountain biking in the SkiWelt village of Söll
Söll lies at the foot of the Hohe Salve (1,829 m), one of Tyrol's best-known viewpoint mountains, and belongs to the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental. In summer the Hochsöll gondola takes you up to Hexenwasser at about 1,355 m, a themed mountain area with water stations, a bee house and witch stories. A second gondola section continues to the summit.
On top stands the Salvenkirchlein, the highest pilgrimage church in Austria, with a mountain restaurant next to it. From the summit you can see around seventy peaks above 3,000 m. A lift at the top station makes the summit accessible without steps. For children there are, among other things, a sky labyrinth and planet ball runs. Walkers find panorama paths here, and cyclists a circular route of about 37 km around the mountain. It is an easy outing, about 35 minutes from Niederau.
