The Ski Resort
The ski resort Söllereck in the Oberstdorf/Kleinwalsertal region is perfect for beginners and families, boasting wide, well-groomed slopes, that invite you for an unhurried and pleasurable run. The 14km/8.7mi of slopes in the ski area divide into 7km/4.3mi of blues, 6km/7.7mi of reds, and 1km/0.6mi of black runs. A total of six lifts get winter sports enthusiasts to the top of the mountain.
'Söllis Winterwelt' all-year playground provides even more fun in the snow. SölliBully, a wooden XXL snow groomer takes children's hearts by storm all year round. A free conveyor belt leads to the flat practice run where they can practise their first steps on the snow. Further conveyors get you from the car park to the slope and on to the practice run.
Several times per season, there is a special night for ski tourers. On these days, the main run is not groomed, to make ski tours to Schönblick mountain hut possible.

Must-Ski Runs
