The Vilstal is car-free from the Vilstalsäge guesthouse, and the cycle path runs idyllically along the babbling Vils. At the Kalbelehof alpine hut, the narrow Vilstal opens up, and from here you will hear cowbell jingling all the way up to the Tannheimer Tal with its dreamlike scenery. From Grän, it’s downhill through Achtal all the way to Pfronten. Inns and alpine huts invite you to relax and refresh at regular intervals.

Author’s recommendation

Those with enough fitness or power in their battery can take a 4 km detour from Tannheim up to Vilsalpsee – a deep blue lake in a nature reserve with a fascinating mountain panorama.

Safety information

In spring and autumn, the cows graze without fences in Achtal and can sometimes block the cycle path.

Roadbook

From the trends sports center, turn right onto the Schlosspark cycling route towards Pfronten. You leave this in Pfronten-Röfleuten by cycling straight ahead towards Vilstal. Past the Vilstalsäge guesthouse, continue straight along the Vils to the Kalbelehof alpine hut, where you can take your first break. When you reach the Tannheimer Tal near Schattwald, turn left onto the Allgäu cycling route towards Tannheim/Pfronten. Near Tannheim, the cycle path gradually moves away from the main road, making a wide arc towards Achtal.

From the narrow section, you can let it roll, past the Seealpe alpine hut and the Fallmühle guesthouse until you reach the first houses of Pfronten. On the Allgäu cycling route, you ride through the districts of Pfronten to the end of Pfronten-Kappel. Here you leave the Allgäu cycling route by cycling straight towards Nesselwang. Before reaching the town, turn left to the trends sports center.
