    From the starting point, the exit of the Hochalpbahn at Breitenberg, you follow a prepared winter hiking trail to the Ostlerhütte. On the way, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Allgäu foothills and the Allgäu and Tyrolean Alps. Once you arrive, you will be welcomed by the cozy rooms of the Ostlerhütte. After a well-deserved snack, follow the signs back to the starting point, the chairlift.

    Author’s recommendation

    For a quick descent, it is worth bringing a sled. From the Hochalpbahn chairlift, a 6 km long sled run begins.

    Hallo Leonie, die Rodelstrecke Ostlerforstweg (Naturrodelbahn am Breitenberg » Ostler-Forstweg) startet ab der Bergstation des Sessellifts Hochalpbahn. Der bequemste Weg zur Rodelbahn führt mit der Breitenbergbahn auf den Berg. Ihr könntet alternativ aber auch den gleichen Weg den die Rodelstrecke ins Tal führt nach oben wandern (dann allerdings mit Gegenverkehr durch Rodler, das ist nur eingeschränkt zu empfehlen). Viele Grüße
