Guide to Oberstdorf

The Oberstdorf ski resort is located in the southern part of Bavaria, on the border with Austria. It caters to athletes of all levels, with both easy slopes for beginners and tracks where World Cup competitions take place. The majority of visitors are Germans, and Oberstdorf is not yet widely known beyond the country.

Popular skiing areas in the vicinity include Nebelhorn (home to the longest slope in Germany at 7.5 kilometers), Fellhorn (proudly featuring the country's most modern circular lift with six-seater cabins), and Sollereck. On the outskirts of Oberstdorf, there is a lift station that takes you to Nebelhorn, at an altitude of 2,224 meters above sea level. Here, you'll find challenging slopes for professionals, one of the best snow parks in the Alps, and a carving center. To return to the village, you can take a slope that ends near the lift. The Fellhorn area is located below the resort, a few kilometers away. It is suitable for those who consider their skiing level to be intermediate, as well as beginners and children. The slopes here are gentle, wide, and have perfectly smooth surfaces. Sollereck offers 12 relatively easy slopes, five of which are equipped with snow cannons.
