Skiing & Snowboarding
SkiWelt-Wilder Kaiser-Brixental
The SkiWelt-Wilder Kaiser-Brixental is the largest ski area in Austria and a very important part of the Kitzbüheler Alpen ski region. 91 Cable cars and modern Lifts, 279 km of ski piste, 210 km of snow-making, and more than 70 huts & mountain restaurants. The SkiWelt doesn’t stand out simply because of its size and variety of pistes, but also for it’s quality and modern facilities. It is for this reason that the SkiWelt has the distinction of being awarded “best ski area in the world” for the last four years, beating some 400 other resorts to this prestigious title.

Night Skiing
The largest night skiing area in Tirol. From Wednesday to Saturday until 10.15pm you can enjoy perfectly prepared pistes with 10 km of flood lit ski runs all the way to the valley. The existing 3 km long floodlight valley home run in Söll has been extended by a further 3 runs in Hochsöll. The Salvenmoos – Keat – and Hexen6er runs turn night into day.
Ski Tours and Ski Guiding
Backcountry and off-piste skiers can enjoy the freedom of the mountains, skiing individual routes, or enjoying the accompaniment of an experienced and certified backcountry ski guide. For those who prefer there is a huge amount of off-piste skiing to explore around the 279 km of pistes in the SkiWelt. We also offer ‘ski safari’ routes which are marked ungroomed ski runs.
Funparks Wilder Kaiser
It’s not just traditional alpine skiers who get their highs out of the Wilder Kaiser region in winter. Freestyle and free ride skiers and snowboarders have also plenty to smile about. Whether on one board or two, freestylers can now get their adrenaline rush at no fewer than three funparks within the SkiWelt-Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, including a new fun slope. Our fun parks offer fun for all free riders, from beginners to jump freaks, with thrills and spills guaranteed.
Tobogganing
Flood lit tobogganing in Ellmau, Going, & Söll
With their numerous flood lit toboggan runs the Wilder Kaiser region is a well-known and popular tobogganing destination. A total of 16 km (most with snow-making) spread over five toboggan runs, ensures fun and excitement for the whole family. Whether you prefer a romantic forest track, as from the Graspoint Niederalm Tannbichl, or the more athletic 4.5 km long toboggan run on the Astberg, there is something to satisfy all toboggan fans. The toboggan runs are flood lit, turning night into day for even more fun!
