Beer & Après Prices in SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental

The legendary Hexenbräu is Söll's most iconic après-ski destination, housed in a converted brewery with multiple floors of revelry. The ground floor maintains a more civilized atmosphere with pub grub and reasonably priced drinks, while the upper levels explode into pure après-ski madness with DJs spinning Austrian hits and international party anthems. The famous 'Hexen' (witch) theme runs throughout with witch-themed décor and even a witch hat photo booth. The crowd is predominantly 25-45, energetic but not rowdy until later in the evening. Happy hour runs 4-6pm with discounted cocktails and beer tower deals.

Positioned directly at the base of the Hexenabfahrt slope, Schernthaner is THE quintessential on-mountain après-ski spot that defines the SkiWelt experience. Skiers literally ski up to the bar,扔掉 their helmets, and join the ever-growing crowd dancing on tables. The outdoor terrace fills first, but the action spills everywhere with conga lines forming by 3:30pm. Inside, a spacious dining area serves hearty Austrian meals if you need sustenance. The vibe is pure, unfiltered Austrian ski party energy with DJs playing Schlager hits that everyone knows and loves. Bring cash as cards aren't always accepted.

A hidden gem for those seeking a more authentic, less touristy mountain après experience, Höh sits at elevation above Brixen and draws a loyal local following. The atmosphere is genuinely warm and convivial rather than performatively festive—you'll hear actual conversations alongside the music. The outdoor terrace offers stunning views of the Wilder Kaiser mountains. Locals favor this spot for quality schnapps selections and reasonable prices. The bar maintains a relaxed pace until around 5pm when the energy picks up naturally. It's particularly popular with instructors and locals from across the SkiWelt area.

Der Bocker brings sophisticated village après to the more upscale Ellmau resort. The bar occupies a prime location on the main promenade, with floor-to-ceiling windows creating an elegant après-ski lounge atmosphere. The crowd skews slightly older (30s-50s) and values quality over quantity—this isn't a place for Jägerbomb culture. The cocktail menu is genuinely impressive for an Alpine resort, featuring creative interpretations and excellent wine selections. Live piano music several evenings per week adds to the refined ambiance. Service is attentive and professional, making it perfect for couples or those seeking civilized post-ski relaxation.

The go-to late-night destination for those whose après-ski ambitions extend past midnight, Kickers transforms from a sports bar into Söll's primary nightclub around 10pm. The basement club area features a small dance floor, surprisingly decent sound system, and DJ sets playing everything from current chart hits to 90s classics. Cover charges apply after 10pm (usually €5-10). The venue attracts a younger crowd (18-30) and maintains energy until the early morning hours—rare for Austrian resorts. Drink prices remain reasonable compared to Alpine mega-resorts. The sports bar upstairs shows football and skiing competitions during afternoon hours.

A beloved institution in the quieter Westendorf sector of SkiWelt, the Berglift Bar offers an intimate mountain après experience that contrasts sharply with Söll's intensity. The small terrace fills with locals and knowledgeable visitors who appreciate the relaxed pace and genuine Tyrolean atmosphere. The bar specializes in local wines and spirits, with the owner often personally recommending pairings. It's particularly magical during golden hour when the western facing terrace catches the setting sun over the mountains. Unlike some venues, here you can actually have a conversation while enjoying your drink. Popular with families during the day, transitioning to a pleasant adult-focused après spot by late afternoon.
