Oberstdorf

Oberstdorf is one of Germany's most distinctive alpine destinations, idyllically located in the Allgäu Alps near the Austrian border. As Germany's southernmost town, Oberstdorf combines majestic mountain scenery with a rich alpine culture and vibrant town life. In winter, the Fellhorn area is a highlight, where modern lift systems provide access to wide, well-groomed slopes and unique cross-border skiing between Germany and Austria. At the same time, Oberstdorf is renowned for its extensive winter hiking opportunities, with snow-cleared and groomed trails that lead through serene valleys, along frozen streams, and offer panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. The town also has a strong tradition of winter sports and is internationally famous for ski jumping. After an active day, visitors gather in the charming town center or at alpine huts, where local specialties such as käsespätzle, game dishes, and regional cheeses are served in authentic settings. Oberstdorf is a year-round destination where active holidays, genuine village atmosphere, and stunning alpine landscapes come together in perfect harmony.
