In and around Oberstdorf lies one of the largest hiking and mountain sports areas along the northern edge of the Alps.
Between the dramatic peaks of the Trettachspitze and Mädelegabel lie serene valleys, green meadows, and sparkling mountain lakes.
And yes – dipping your feet into a cool mountain stream is always part of the experience.
The Hindelanger Klettersteig is one of the most popular and rewarding via ferrata climbs in the region. With our local mountain schools, you can also take guided summit tours – we’ll gladly recommend certified mountain guides.
If you like it sporty, you’ll love the trails leading into the mid-mountain ranges. Oberstdorf and its surroundings offer a diverse network of routes for mountain and gravel bikers alike. You’ll also find beautiful cycle paths through the neighboring villages and valleys.
Together with our partner BergsportJA, you can join guided MTB and e-bike tours. Local guides know every path, viewpoint, and trail to make your ride unforgettable.
In autumn, the cattle return from the mountain pastures to the valley and the forests glow in golden colors.
It’s the perfect time to enjoy the calm, take in nature’s colors, and hike through the mountains before winter arrives. Most mountain lifts operate until the end of October.
In winter, the landscape transforms into a snowy playground.
You can carve your first turns on freshly prepared slopes, glide silently through the snow on cross-country skis, or enjoy the peaceful stillness of a winter walk through the sparkling landscape.
Oberstdorf is not only a paradise for skiers and cross-country enthusiasts – it’s also a dream come true for those who love quiet winter walks and gentle adventures. Picture-perfect: deep snow, blue skies, glittering ice crystals, and majestic peaks. It’s like stepping into a winter postcard.
Our tip: try a snowshoe hike away from the ski slopes – an unforgettable way to experience the peace of the snowy mountains.
Whether you prefer classic or skating style, you’ll find plenty of variety and stunning views. The trails around Oberstdorf – and through the nearby villages of Rubi, Reichenbach, Schöllang, and Tiefenbach – offer something for every level.
Beginners and experienced skiers are equally well cared for by local ski schools. We’ll be happy to recommend instructors and rental shops. You can also take part in regular introductory courses offered by Oberstdorf Tourism for both styles.
