What could be more wonderful than enjoying the snow-covered landscape on a beautiful winter’s day, feeling the power of the winter sun on your skin and hearing the snow crunch under your boots with every step?
In addition to the popular activities of classic winter sports – alpine skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing – there are numerous other leisure activities on offer during the cold season. Whether winter hiking, snowshoeing, tobogganing, ice skating or horse-drawn sleigh rides, all this promises winter fun!
We at Bergland Söll, your vacation apartment Söll Wilder Kaiser, can give you a few tips for your vacation days in the Wilder Kaiser region today!

Winter hiking

Immerse yourself in the wonderful winter landscape! The snow glistens mysteriously in the sun, the branches of the trees bear the weight of the snow. Take a moment and feel it for yourself – a very special tranquillity, an almost magical atmosphere defines nature in winter.
In the Wilder Kaiser region there are many groomed winter trails to discover through sunny valleys and on the slopes of the Kaiser mountains. As part of the activity program of our Wilder Kaiser region, we also offer entertaining themed hikes, such as

• the “schnapps hike” with a visit to a schnapps distillery and subsequent tasting. The way back is designed as a torchlight hike
• The winter hike with goats: not only children love this hike and enjoy the company of the curious, friendly animals. Learn lots of interesting facts about the goats and experience for yourself what it’s like to be part of the herd.
• Trekking with llamas: From the “llama farmer” – the Koglhof in Ellmau – the winter hiking trail leads out into the beautiful countryside! Each participant can lead their own llama! A special experience for all animal lovers!
• A guided “Bergdoktor” winter hike to popular filming locations of the successful TV series completes the offer.
  For more information and hiking tips, our team at Bergland Söll, vacation apartment Söll, will be happy to help you at any time.

Snowshoe hiking

Snowshoeing has been enjoying increasing popularity for several years now! Away from groomed trails and pistes, you can experience adventures in untouched nature on snowshoes. If you are venturing out on snowshoes for the first time, we recommend a guided snowshoe hike. Rental equipment and tips from the pros await you!
The guided snowshoe hike “Schwendterdörfl” is particularly popular – an ideal introductory tour to familiarize yourself with the new sports equipment and make your first tracks in the snow!
For those looking for something really special, we recommend the evening snowshoe hike: experience the unique magical atmosphere of nature at night.

Tobogganing

There are well-prepared toboggan runs for all our enthusiastic tobogganers – the Wilder Kaiser region is considered the Tyrolean “tobogganing hotspot”! The cable cars take you comfortably to the starting point. Some runs are also illuminated and provide special fun into the night with “moonlight tobogganing”! For children, we have an exciting experience in store with the “Hexenritt” toboggan run in Söll, where smoke and glowing, giggling witches accompany you! Toboggans are available for hire!

Ice skating and curling

Whether outdoors or indoors, several ice rinks invite you to skate. The popular ice penguins are available for your little ones to learn and practise on, while the older ones might enjoy an ice hockey match. How about a mug of mulled wine and a game of curling?

Romantic carriage ride – horse-drawn sleigh

Have you always dreamed of gliding through the snow-covered landscape in a horse-drawn sleigh and marveling at nature? We offer individual trips – this will be a highlight of your vacation!

With so much to choose from, everyone is sure to find their own personal vacation pleasure!

A quick word on choosing the right clothes for winter sports:
An old saying goes:
“There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes!”
There is a grain of truth in these words. We recommend the so-called “onion look”! What is meant by this? Several layers of clothing can be put on and taken off to adapt to the temperature and situation. Also recommended: a rucksack to store your clothes. You should also always have a thermos flask of hot tea with you!

We at Bergland Söll, your Wilder Kaiser vacation apartment, look forward to welcoming you and experiencing a wonderful winter with you!
