Skiing for children in Oberstdorf at the Söllereck
The Söllereck Ski Area near Oberstdorf is a perfect ski region for families and children who want to learn their first turns in the snow. With gentle slopes, beginner-friendly lifts, and over 50% blue pistes, the area offers ideal conditions for young and inexperienced skiers. Here, little ones can discover the joy of winter sports in a playful and safe way with children's ski courses, while parents relax and enjoy the day – on skis or in the mountain restaurant.
Sölli's winter world at Söllereck
In Sölli's Winter World, even toddlers in the ski area can playfully learn balance and stamina on skis. Children can also have fun with the figure slalom in Sölli's Kinderland, and thanks to the conveyor belts, getting started with skiing is easy. Perhaps our Sölli is even on hand to help you get back on your feet or congratulate you on your first downhill run!
Adult beginners will also enjoy the opportunity to practice on flat terrain and get used to the first climbs on the conveyor belt.
The Wannenköpfle lift is part of the "Oberstdorf Ski Schools" program:/aktiv-sport/skifahren/skischulen-skiverleih/ and is the next step in the ski area for (young) children and beginners.
Prices for the Söllereck can be found in our Ski passes for beginners.
By the way: With the 3-hour pass (also valid in Söllis Winterwelt), beginners and children can save twice as much – they don't need a pass for the entire ski area and the whole day for their first turns.
Tip: After skiing, little ski novices love to have a romp on the SölliBully – the wooden snow groomer right next to Sölli's Winterwelt.
