Oberstaufen walks

A lovely hike along a ridge path offering numerous views of the Allgäu peaks.

A short circular walk taking in this small peak overlooking Oberstaufen. Despite its modest altitude, the Staufner Berg offers panoramic views of the village and the surrounding area.

A route that climbs to offer views of the Goßer Alpsee. The return journey follows the Jakobsweg (Way of St James), staying as close as possible to the northern shore.

This short and easy hike will take you to a picturesque covered bridge. In June, you will be able to walk through lush green meadows. You will also be able to see two covered crosses.

The winter hike on the Kesselschwand circular trail starts at the bus stop in Egg. Highlights include the natural bridge at the start of the hike and the covered Höfle Bridge over the Schwarzwasserbach stream.

This circular route, divided into two half-days, starts at the Oberstdorf bus station. The transport system in this region makes it easy to combine hiking with bus and cable car travel from one valley to another.

A magnificent route that largely follows the Austrian-German border. The use of buses and cable cars limits significant elevation gains. This ridge trail offers superb views of Austria and the mountain ranges around Oberstdorf, including the Nebelhorn.

This circular route, divided into two half-days, starts from Oberstdorf bus station. The transport system in this region makes it easy to combine hiking with bus and cable car journeys from one valley to another.

A pleasant route that takes you from the Allgäu to the Kleinwalsertal in Austria. The use of buses and cable cars limits significant elevation gains.

A lovely walk from the Ifenbahn valley station over to Baad, featuring a challenging climb over the Ochsenhofer Scharte. Unfortunately, it can get a bit crowded on fine days, so it is advisable to set off from the Auenhütte by 9 am at the latest.

A beautiful hike that starts in Austria in the Kleinwalsertal and ends in Germany, in the Allgäu, at the foot of the Fellhorn. The advantage of this route is that it allows you to reach the summit of the Kanzelwand without any significant elevation gain thanks to the use of cable cars.

A pleasant route that takes you back to Söllereck. The route passes close to the Freibergsee lake (where you can take a short detour). You can also admire the impressive ski jump.

Hinterstein - Shreksee - Kirchdachsattel - Hinterstein Route starts from Hinterstein parking. We hiked, but it is possible to take the bus to Kraftwerk Auele, where the trailhead begins. It is a difficult trail with steep inclines with loose rocks and water runoff. It is possible to swim in the lake, and the view from the saddle is really nice.

A nice walk around the Vilsalpsee lake to the waterfall and then taking the ascent to the higher lake, Traualpsee, and the refuge.

The route involves climbing up to the lake and walking round it, with the option of continuing on to the Ravensburger Hütte (where food is available). The path climbs steeply through the forest, passing under a tarmac road: just after this, it emerges and the climb resumes immediately to the right, quite steeply. The slope levels out afterwards. As you approach the lake, after passing a fence, you’ll come to a farm: watch out for the herd of cows – there may be a young bull. Once you reach the lake, you can either take the track on the right and continue to the mountain hut, or return via the other side: there are several steep sections, but they’re safe.

A beautiful hike combining the ascent to the summit of Valluga by cable car and a route that allows you to admire the magnificent Arlberg mountain range. From Ulmer Hütte, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Lechtal and Valluga.

A magnificent snowshoe hike offering superb views of the Austrian Alpine massif in North Tyrol. In particular, you will see the Hoher Riffler, which, at an altitude of 3,167 metres, is the highest point in the area. A pleasant, easy walk along a well-groomed trail.
