Ski area Fellhorn/Kanzelwand - Oberstdorf/Riezlern
Together with Oberstdorf, the southernmost municipality in Germany, the Austrian Kleinwalsertal forms a wonderful ski region with 130 kilometres of piste including ski routes and 44 lift systems, which opens up to you with the "Ski Oberstdorf Kleinwalsertal" ski pass. The perfectly groomed pistes are particularly suitable for families and beginners, but experienced skiers will also get their money's worth.
A special attraction is the two-country ski area Fellhorn/Kanzelwand, which you can easily reach from Riezlern with the Kanzelwandbahn cable car. Here you can ski on a total of 36 km of pistes and ski from the Austrian Kleinwalsertal to the German Fellhorn ski arena. At the Kesslerlift next to the Kanzelwandbahn valley station, freestlyers will find the Crystal Ground, a snowpark with a chill-out sun deck and floodlights for night sessions. You have access to free Wi-Fi hotspots at all main stations of the Fellhorn and Kanzelwand cable cars as well as in all Das Höchste restaurants.
On the Nebelhorn, the highest gondola lift in the Allgäu takes you up to 2,224 metres. On a clear day, you have a magnificent view of 400 peaks between the Zugspitze and the Swiss Säntis at the summit station. Afterwards, you can ski down Germany's longest descent to the valley from the Nebelhorn to Oberstdorf. The Söllereck area is family-friendly and ideal for beginners, with predominantly easy to intermediate pistes. The Walmendinger Horn offers beautiful and varied descents for all levels of ability.

Snowpark Fellhorn/Kanzelwand - Oberstdorf/Riezlern: Crystal Ground Snowpark
Freestylers will also feel right at home in the Kleinwalsertal ski areas. The "young and wild" will find plenty to do in the "Crystal Ground" and "Easy Park". The aim of the park builders was to create a freestyle pros' paradise that meets the latest standards and unites newcomers and pros of the scene. They have succeeded in doing so, offering the best opportunities to see the ski area from the air with a jump or two.
The "Crystal Ground" is a popular snowpark for all skill levels thanks to its creative, monthly changing and jib-heavy set-up. Thanks to the camps, event series and sessions, there's never a dull moment here. When the snow conditions are right, the park with its floodlights is also waiting to be conquered in the evening. In the Fellhorn Funslope, kickers, fun boxes, tunnels, waves and banked runs are literally at your feet at an altitude of 1,750 metres.
