Der Bär conquers heights.
Sometimes more, sometimes less.
Quiet, meditative, wild. Our mountains have many sides. Which one would you like to experience? Der Bär provides the ideal “base camp” for ski tour enthusiasts – and all those who want to become one. Here you can safely burn off energy and relax every day. Even if you are staying for more than a week, you can go on a new tour every day. For example, a ski tour on the Hartkaiser every Thursday. Look forward to powder snow, firn or night ski tour experiences in our dreamy winter landscape! You can expect beginners’ tours with just a few metres of altitude as well as challenging longer routes. Numerous lifts enable even less fit ski tourers to fulfil their dreams.

Ski touring tips in the surroundings of Ellmau:
Inexperienced ski tourers should be accompanied by a mountain guide or ski instructor to learn everything important about route selection, equipment and correct behavior in dangerous situations. The tours on the Wilder Kaiser in particular are generally only recommended for experienced ski tourers.
If you want to go on a tour alone or always want to be on the safe side, there are great offers in Söll and Ellmau: At certain times, the slopes in Söll are reserved for motivated climbers, while in Ellmau the ski touring evening is always held on Thursdays.
