Soll, also spelled Söll, is a municipality in the Kufstein District in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It lies in the Inn Valley at the northern foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountain range and is part of the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world. The municipal territory comprises the central village of Soll and several smaller hamlets along the valley.

History and settlement: The area has been inhabited since medieval times and became part of the County of Tyrol in the late Middle Ages. In the 20th century, tourism grew to become the main economic activity, with winter sports drawing visitors from Austria and abroad. Agriculture remains present in the surrounding countryside.

Economy and tourism: Today, tourism dominates the local economy. Winter tourism centers on extensive ski facilities, cross-country tracks, and après-ski services, while summer visitors come for hiking, mountain biking, and alpine scenery. The town serves as a gateway to the Wilder Kaiser landscape, including nearby peaks and lift networks that connect to higher elevations.

Transportation and access: Soll is connected by regional roads to the Tyrolean road network; in winter, ski buses link the town with the SkiWelt lifts. The closest rail and motorway connections are found in Kufstein and other larger Tyrolean towns.

Notable features: The area features the Hohe Salve, a prominent nearby peak served by a cable car, offering panoramic views of the surrounding Alps. The municipality maintains a strong alpine-tourism profile, reflecting Tyrolean culture and outdoor recreation.
