Cross-country Allgäu

The Allgäu, with its wide valley bottoms and soft alpine pastures, is a perfect place for fans of Nordic sports to get active. With its snowy forest- and mountain scenery, the region is known as one of the largest winter sports areas in Germany. The best conditions are available from late autumn until spring. The region offers a total of more than 1,000 km trails of classic, and another more than 500 km of skating trails. In crystal clear air and on sparkling powder snow, you can best enjoy your holiday on a wonderful day spent on the trails.

The Kalzhofer trail leading through the wonderful landscape on a length of 2 km is especially suitable for beginners. Another easy trail for beginners is the path to Schorenhof, a nicely flat circuit course of 8 km offering a view of the mountains. Approx. 45 km of mainly easy and intermediate trails are available alone in the area surrounding the resort Bad Hindelang.

The resort Füssen is known amongst tourists from all over the world and is one of the top regions for cross-country skiers: here you can find approx. 30 km of trails with various types of route guiding. The Neuschwanstein route is a special highlight: on this flood-lit night trail with a romantic view of Neuschwanstein Castle, everyone can only start dreaming. A second night trail of 1.5 km can be found at the Hornbahn lift valley station. In the whole region you can find tracks prepared for both classic and skating style alike. Experienced cross-country skiers will especially enjoy the trails to the boat port at the lakes Foggensee or Weißensee.
