Oberstdorf Beginners

At the Söllereck area, a four seater gondola provides easy access to the top – and 4kms of blue and 7kms of very easy red runs. For those wanting to explore the other areas, there are a couple of baby lifts and the Seealpe draglift on top of the lowest section at the Nebelhorn, and a nice easy cruise from the Fellhorn summit via the ‘Zweiländer’ chairlift to the Felhorn cable car middle station.

There’s also a practice slope near the bottom of the cable car station. Another blue run is located on the Austrian side at the bottom of the Kanzelwand Gondola. Further into the Kleinwalsertal, another smaller mountain, the Walmendinger Horn offers a further 9km of blue and easy reds. The Fellhorn/Kanzelwand has a practice lift at the Fellhorn base area and some easy draglifts at the Kanzelwand base in Rietzlern. There’s a blue run from the Fellhorn summit to the middle station which traverses the main ski area, but it would be best to take the cable car back down from there. The Nebelhorn offers very little for the beginner other than a few short runs from the top of the first section of the cable car – ideal for novices who want easy skiing with some decent altitude and scenery thrown in.
