Young explorers and experienced ski tourers a like get their money's worth in the Sölktäler. Slopes above the tree line give winter sports enthusiasts enough freedom to pursue their interests in a variety of ways. After a leisurely start along the Sölkpassstraße, the route takes you along the Almweg to the foot of the Schafdach. To the left of the prominent gully, serpentines lead towards the summit. In the wooded area, special consideration must be given to game. Wildlife sanctuary zones are marked on the maps of the various tours. Please try to follow the rules and be fair to the animals and plants - you are invading their habitat.

Safety information

Mountain sports and the assessment of the situation on site is - even more so in winter - primarily your own responsibility. Tourism associations or avalanche warning services do not assume any liability based on information provided.

The tours in the Sölktälern lead through alpine terrain. Be aware of the long ascents. They require safety equipment, knowledge and skills of a mountaineer! Plan your tour carefully and pay attention to the current avalanche situation report!

You can inform yourself about the current avalanche situation at the avalanche warning service of Styria. Hompage: lawine-steiermark.at Avalanche situation report Tape: +43 800 31 1588

You are responsible for yourself!
