✨ Your holiday moments ✨

Tip 1: Söllereck family ski area

The highlight of a family holiday in Oberstdorf is undoubtedly the Söllereck family ski area. Just one kilometer from the Hotel Oberstdorf, children can playfully learn to ski in "Sölli's Winter World." Experienced skiers will also find plenty to enjoy on 5.4 km of red slopes and one black run. Everyone meets for lunch at the Alpe Oberstdorf, the intermediate station of the Söllereck cable car.

Action garantiert auf der sich rasant nach unten bewegenden Rodelbahn. Für alle, dies wissen wollen.

Tip 2: Allgäu Coaster - Söllereck

An 850-meter-long toboggan run winding through the breathtaking winter landscape of the Söllereck... The Allgäu Coaster at the Söllereck is a spectacular experience for the whole family, even in winter! The 850-meter-long curved track with jumps and waves brings adventure to your ski day at speeds of up to 40 km/h!

Tip 3: Tobogganing at the Seealpe

The natural toboggan run, over 2.5 km long, leads from the Seealpe station in the Nebelhorn ski area down into the valley, covering a vertical drop of 450 meters! After the easy ride up on the Nebelhorn cable car, nothing stands in the way of a fast or leisurely descent.

Our tip: Stop by the Seealpe mountain inn before you start!

Tip 4: 130 km of slopes for fun in Germany's largest ski resort

Do you already have older children who are good skiers? Perfect! Then head out to discover the Ifen, the Walmendingerhorn, the Nebelhorn, or the Fellhorn/Kanzelwand cross-border area.

There are varied slopes for every skill level: whether long or short, mogul-covered, winding or straight, steep or gentle – in Germany's largest ski area in the Allgäu region, every family will find the perfect ski resort!
