The Oberallgäu, the southern part of the Allgäu, is an ideal ski touring area. While the foothills around Wertach, Immenstadt and Oberstaufen are particularly suitable for beginners and connoisseurs, the peaks of the Hörnergruppe and Balderschwanger Valley are known for their panoramic views and abundant snow. The Giebelhaus in the Hinteren Ostrachtal is also a popular starting point for ski tourers. The main Allgäu ridge, on the other hand, is a ski touring region reserved for experienced alpinists only.

The Sonnenkopf is the ideal mountain for all occasions. Over beautiful pastures we reach the Sonnenkopf on a pleasant incline without any particular difficulty. Only in extreme conditions is this tour prone to avalanches.
Anfangs ist der Aufstieg ziemlich flach und kostet kaum Kraft.

Sehr beliebte, landschaftlich großartige Skitour mit kurzem Aufstieg und langer Abfahrt. Die geschilderte Aufstiegsroute erfordert einen sehr sicheren Schnee und sichere Aufstiegstechnik. Die Rückfahrt mit dem Bus ab dem Giebelhaus ist etwas kompliziert und langwierig.

The ski tour to the two mountains above the Gunzesried Ostertal is one of the easier tours in the Allgäu. Without any particular difficulties, the tour runs along the beautiful ridge of the Ostertalberg to the Höllritzeralpe. Only the ascent to the summit is steeper and offers a rewarding descent. At the top we are rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view of the Allgäu mountains.

Enjoyable ski tour to the western and eastern

In the foothills of the Allgäuer Alps, beginners and connoisseurs will find what they are looking for. The ski tours near Wertach are relatively easy and do not present any unusual challenges. A popular classic, for example, is the ski tour from Unterjoch to the Wertacher Hörnle with a stop in the Buchelalpe.

The mountains between Oberstaufen and Immenstadt were among the first peaks to be climbed with skis. Worthwhile peaks in the western foothills include the Stuiben, the Gschwender Horn and the Immenstädter Horn.

The mountains between Oberstaufen and Immenstadt were among the first peaks to be climbed on skis in the area. Worthwhile peaks in the western foothills include the Stuiben, the Gschwender Horn and the Immenstädter Horn.

An easy ski tour takes you, for example, to the Immenstädter Hausberg, the Mittag. The popular tobogganing mountain is ideal for an easy ski tour. In the Gunzesried Ostertal valley, on the other hand, you can climb two peaks at once over a distance of around 12 kilometres: The Bleicher Horn and the Höllritzereck are close together, so it is worth tackling both at once. Another popular ski tour takes you along the Hochgrat – with a nice place to stop for a bite to eat at the Staufner Haus.

Beautiful tours near Balderschwang and Hörnergruppe

Around Balderschwang, which is also called "Bavarian Siberia" because of its abundance of snow, there are a large number of possible ski tours on Siplinger Kopf, Heidenkopf or Feuerstätterkopf.

In the group of horns Rangiswanger, Sigiswanger or Ofterschwanger Horn offer tours with impressive views.

Around Bad Hindelang and Ostrachtal

In the Ostrachtal, too, fans of powder snow get their money's worth: numerous ski tours with high peaks and beautiful slopes await winter sports enthusiasts. A good starting point is the Giebelhaus in the Hinteren Ostrachtal. Mountains such as the Schochen or the demanding Große Wilde are approached from the Giebelhaus.

From Bad Hindelang, ski tourers set off on sunny tours to the Hirschberg or the Bôhleskopf.
