Abstract: Let $X=G/K$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type and rank $kge2$. We prove that horospheres in $X$ are Lipschitz $(k-2)$--connected if their centers are not contained in a proper join factor of the spherical building of $X$ at infinity. As a consequence, the distortion dimension of an irreducible $mathbbQ$--rank-$1$ lattice $Gamma$ in a linear, semisimple Lie group $G$ of $mathbbR$--rank $k$ is $k-1$. That is, given $m<k-1$, a Lipschitz $m$--sphere $S$ in (a polyhedral complex quasi-isometric to) $Gamma$, and a $(m+1)$--ball $B$ in $X$ (or $G$) filling $S$, there is a $(m+1)$--ball $B^{\prime }$ in $Gamma$ filling $S$ such that $operatornamevol{B}^{\prime }simoperatornamevolB$. In particular, such arithmetic lattices satisfy Euclidean isoperimetric inequalities up to dimension $k-1$.
