Winter walking in the Allgäu
Winter walking in the fresh mountain air does wonders for your health - and you will also enjoy some fine views!
Snow shoe walking is a sport which opens up the unspoilt natural world. Why not give it a try? The necessary equipment is available for hire locally.
Skiing fun at 1,000 m altitude
On the outskirts of Scheidegg (towards Bregenz) you can discover skiing and snowboarding at the Scheidegg family winter sports centre – the Luggi Leitner lift. The 900 m long Luggi Leitner lift takes skiers up above the treeline to the Falchen plateau, located at an altitude of approx. 1,000 m. From here superbly groomed ski slopes enable you to whizz back down to the valley.
