Skiing at Söllereck: Fast and easy winter vacation
Next exit: Ski paradise: Skiers with children will find 14 kilometers of slopes practically on their doorstep in the Söllereck ski area. The Ski areas around Oberstdorf, operated by Oberstdorf Kleinwalsertal Bergbahnen, are easily accessible from Germany. On the family mountain, the 10-person gondola takes you from the parking lot to the top station and directly onto the slopes. These are the highlights that await skiers of all ages in the Söllereck ski area.
With the 2025/26 season, we are also celebrating the comeback of a legend: The traditional Höllwies drag lift will be put back into operation after a quality upgrade, thus enabling the reopening of slopes 5 and 6 at Söllereck. The original route from the 1970s, as well as the supports and foundations, will be preserved, preserving the unique character of the Höllwies. The lift was equipped with a new, energy-saving drive and intelligently modernized, which moved the entrance to the Höllwies lift to approximately 1,100 m above sea level.
The slopes at Söllereck are fun for children and beginners on skis
Wide slopes with a gentle gradient: Over half of the Söllereck slopes are designated blue beginner runs, where children and novice skiers can gradually improve their skills. Moving carpets make it easier for the little ones to ride the lifts, and in Sölli's Winter World, they race through the figure course or take off for their first descent from the Wannenköpfle lift. The cheaper beginner ski pass is valid here, allowing newbies to try out the slopes first and then later apply what they've learned throughout the entire ski area.
While the little ones practice standing on skis, more experienced skiers and their parents might already be venturing onto the Panorama Slope, the red slope from the Söllereck mountain station. Those who get cold feet can bypass this scenic descent on a blue slope, jokingly called "Slacker." On the slalom slope, however, young downhill skiers can show off their skills: The Eagle Eye Run video station of the Adler7 records the slalom run for the digital storybook of every ski pass holder. Whether you're a scaredy-cat or a ski aficionado, there's never a dull moment in the Söllereck ski area.
The reopened Höllwies now offers the two additional red slopes 5 and 6 at Söllereck. Bigger siblings and advanced skiers now have a wider variety of more challenging slopes at Söllereck. The balanced ratio of blue and red slopes makes Söllereck the ideal family ski area. After the modernization, access to Höllwies is via the Söllereckbahn cable car and the family slope.

Skiing makes you hungry, and learning to ski even more so: In the Söllereck ski area, skiers of all ages stop off at the Berghaus Schönblick at the top station of the Söllereckbahn cable car. With a view of the Allgäu Alps, Kässpatzen (cheese spaetzle), fries, and an Allgäu cheese board provide new energy, while the little ones can romp around on the wooden XXL Pistenbully playground, which doubles as a slide, climbing frame, and marble run. Families taking their first steps on skis in Sölli's winter wonderland can stop off at the Berggasthof Seeweg or the Alpe Oberstdorf, where they'll be served hearty home-cooked meals and regional delicacies: everything you need to enjoy in the Söllereck ski area.
