Ski tours in the southern Allgäu
Ski tours in the Allgäu around Oberstdorf and the Kleinwalsertal
In the Allgäu Alps and the surrounding mountains, you'll find ski tours for a variety of abilities. Whether off-the-beaten-path, challenging, for beginners, or with downhill skiing, you'll find the right ski tour for every type of skier during your Oberstdorf vacation.
Ski touring in the Allgäu for beginners and advanced skiers
Fresh snow, stunning landscapes, and fantastic descents through fine powder—that's our idea of the perfect ski tour in the Allgäu Alps. Yes, we can't ignore the ascent and the required endurance, but that's what makes the whole package the perfect one.
If you're not yet confident in the terrain, there are now alternatives that include a descent on a ski slope, so even beginners can enjoy ski touring.
With the Explorer Hotel Oberstdorf, you have your perfect base camp in a top ski touring area. The Allgäu mountains around Oberstdorf and the Kleinwalsertal offer a variety of ski touring options of varying difficulty.
While the Allgäu main ridge is only suitable for experienced ski mountaineers, you'll find easier and more scenic touring destinations in the mountains further out.
Whether it's an easy or difficult ski tour, please always remember to bring the right equipment (never without avalanche transceiver equipment!) and find out more about the tour and the current conditions!
You can rent ski touring equipment from the ski rental shops in Oberstdorf or Fischen.
For beginners, we highly recommend a course where you'll learn the correct technique and be informed about the dangers of open terrain.
Our tip: Even if you've already done a few ski tours, check out the programs offered by local mountaineering schools. They also offer day tours for experienced skiers. You'll benefit from experienced guides who can provide you with plenty of information about the Allgäu as a ski touring area and accompany you on a great tour.
