Your hotel for your summer holiday in the heart of the Allgäu mountains

If you've decided to stay one or more nights in one of the modern designer rooms, you're perfectly equipped to go on a exploration tour. More than 200 kilometers of hiking and biking trails await you. You'll find great tours here from spring to fall. How about a hike on the Fellhorn to see the alpine roses in bloom in June?
In the Upper Allgäu, around the Explorer Hotel in Fischen, a breathtaking view of 400 peaks awaits you on the Nebelhorn. In summer, you can discover the impressive Allgäu mountains on over 300 km of marked hiking trails.
Of course, mountain railways are also available to limit the elevation gain on your tour. There's also plenty to do for families. 😉
Here you have the choice: either a leisurely and relaxed ride through the valley, or an alpine adventure with panoramic views on the high peaks of the surrounding mountains in the Oberstdorf Kleinwalsertal border region.
The southern Allgäu region is also wonderful to explore by mountain bike, e-bike, or road bike.

Natural highlights like the Breitachklamm gorge, which you can easily reach on foot from the Explorer Hotel, are absolute must-sees in both summer and winter. You should also check out Freibergsee lake, the ski jumping hill, and the Orlen Arena.
