The 10 most beautiful winter hikes in Nesselwang
Enchanted hikes in the winter wonderland
Nesselwang lies in the heart of one of the most important winter sports regions in Germany. Beyond the hustle and bustle of the pistes, you will find a secluded, magical winter landscape with a magnificent panorama of the 300 peaks of the Allgäu and Tyrolean Alps. On the winter hikes you can combine sport and relaxation and become one with nature. The Alpspitze lookout mountain is accessible all year round, and the winter hiking trails are prepared just below the summit.
The late winter hike to the Alpspitze is particularly impressive when the snow is no longer quite so high and the sun comes out more frequently. You need to be in good shape for the medium-difficulty route of 11.6 km, as there are almost 750 metres of ascent and descent. On the way, you can warm up and strengthen yourself in the Kappeler Alp.
Tip: You can take the Alpspitzbahn for part or all of the ascent, so the tour is not too difficult even for older children.
The Alpspitze is a rewarding viewpoint mountain on the edge of the Allgäu Alps.
Snowshoe tours: The special winter hike
Hiking with snowshoes is a particularly nature-oriented way to enjoy the winter in Nesselwang. Walking with snowshoes is easy to learn, but you need to be in good shape.
A nice tour for newcomers and experienced hikers is the snowshoe tour to Buronhütte. The approximately 6 km long route is still a little insider tip and you hike mostly through untouched nature. The winter hike starts and ends in Nesselwang, at the car park in the district of Reichenbach. On the way you will pass the Haslacher Alp. In addition to a fantastic view, a delicious and tasty meal awaits you at the Buronhütte.
Through untouched nature on paths not used in winter and a short section at the edge of a ski slope, you can reach the Buron hut on snowshoes.
