Forecast for Pfronten

10-day forecast

The Ostlerhütte not only offers you a place to warm up and strengthen yourself after hiking, but is also the ideal place to enjoy the panorama of the Allgäu Alps on nice days. From the hut it is not far to the summit cross. If that is not enough for you, you can also hike from the valley (starting point: Fallmühle car park or Engetal) to Pfronten's local mountain.

Winter hiking trails for tobogganing enthusiasts - up to the Allgäu huts around Pfronten

What would all-round winter hikes be without a proper stop in one of the many huts? Pfronten has a few of these to offer. For toboggan fans, the ascent to the Hündeleskopfhütte and to the Kappeler Alp is particularly worthwhile. From there you can avoid the descent with your toboggan and toboggan down the mountain instead. And if you want to enjoy the descent on the longest natural toboggan run in the Allgäu, hike up to the Breitenberg (or take the comfortable Breitenberg cable car to the top), over the ridge of which the panoramic cable car leads down.

Guided winter hikes in the Allgäu

Local guides show you their home on guided tours in the valley and up the mountain. Families and nature lovers go on a discovery tour on guided local hikes and nature tours in the valley: explore the wintry moorland, trudge through the snow in search of tracks and get to know the local history on guided local hikes.

Winter hiking on big feet is the name of the game on guided snowshoe hikes in Pfronten. Discover the snow-covered mountains, trudge through untouched snow fields to rustic mountain huts and enjoy the winter magic with a view of the Pfronten valley and the Allgäu Alpine panorama.
