Discover the Allgäu
Around the SCHLOSSANGER
Enjoy your HOLIDAY, organize your TRAVEL
Our Allgäu is one of the most beautiful travel regions in Germany: fantastic landscapes, extensive lake districts, breathtaking mountain scenery, both in summer and winter. The region offers a wide range of leisure activities for sporty visitors, adventurous families, ambitious culture vultures and leisurely connoisseurs.
Climbing
Professional climbers will find plenty of options from the Lechtal Alps via the Tannheimer Tal to the Breitenberg with Einstein and Aggenstein. The climbing garden in Pfronten-Kappel is very exciting for beginners. Climbing courses can be booked online via Pfronten-Tourismus. In bad weather, the bouldering and climbing hall in Rieden is a very good alternative.
Surfing
Just like the Ora on Lake Garda, the early morning wind on Lake Weissensee drives the surfers of the Allgäu onto the water. This is where the surf scene meets early in the morning, as soon as winter has passed. The Forggensee, which was created between 1950 and 1954 as a reservoir of the Lech, is much larger and another Eldorado for surfers.
Sailing
At over 15 square kilometers, Forggensee is the fifth largest lake in Bavaria.
There are sailing schools and moorings in almost every village on the lake. In the middle of the lake, sailors enjoy the wind and weather - and a spectacular view of Neuschwanstein Castle. The Forggensee, the head reservoir of the Lech, is drained in winter, so the sailing season is limited.
Standup paddling (SUP)
This sport was historically reserved for the kings of Hawaii and can be practiced just as privileged in the beautiful Allgäu at Bannwaldsee, Forggensee and the other waters. On a special surfboard, you actively move forward in a standing position with the help of a paddle. The stand-up board offers a completely new perspective on the beautiful surroundings. Recommendation: SUP offers various courses and tours on Lake Forggensee, the equipment is available on site.
Paragliding
Free as a bird in the sky! Soaring silently from the summit down into the valley, feeling the updrafts and chasing over the mountain tops with a few wing beats - that must be how the eagles feel. During a tandem flight with a paraglider, a specially trained pilot controls your glider. And you can "sit" at the front. High above the ground, you can let the fresh wind blow around your nose and enjoy an indescribable feeling with fascinating views! Whether you are a passenger or a student pilot, we have all the options in Pfronten and the surrounding area. Depending on the wind and weather conditions, there are launch options on the Tegelberg, Breitenberg or in the Tannheimer Valley.
Tandem jump with a parachute
A parachute jump is one of the most fascinating experiences you can have in your life. You don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to do this. The feeling of free fall and endless freedom leaves no one who has ever been skydiving or experienced a tandem skydive untouched. You can experience this thrill - as a tandem jump or solo skydive with an experienced guide. In Leutkirch, about 45 minutes away from the SCHLOSSANGER, you can get a memory for eternity.
Skiing
In the winter sports resort of Pfronten, skiers and snowboarders will find their happiness on the slopes in 3 ski areas: in the Pfronten-Steinach ski center, on the Hochalpe on the Breitenberg and the Sonnenlift in Pfronten-Röfleuten. A total of 13 cable cars and lifts with over 20 kilometers of slopes and a large fun park offer entertaining winter fun. If you still haven't had enough, you can go night skiing on one of the longest floodlit slopes in the Allgäu or enjoy après-ski in one of the cozy mountain huts.
Cross-country skiing
Whether classic gliding or sporty skating: in the Pfronten and Tannheim valleys, perfectly prepared and groomed trails invite you to discover winter cross-country skiing. A breathtaking mountain panorama and fantastic views of the fabulously snow-covered Allgäu landscape are constant companions. Breathe in the fresh winter air and take in the unforgettable impressions of nature - pure winter enjoyment. No wonder cross-country skiing is one of the healthiest sports of all.
Natural toboggan run
A face covered in snow, lumps of ice in your hair and the wind in your face - that's what the longest natural toboggan run in the Allgäu feels like. Sledging fans of all ages can take the Breitenberg cable car and the short ride on the four-seater chairlift up to 1,677m. Before heading downhill on runners, the Hochalp-Hütte and the Berghaus Allgäu invite you onto their sun terraces.
Horse-drawn sleigh
With two horsepower through the Pfrontner valley! The winter landscape passes by, the horses snort and steam, and you enjoy the relaxed ride wrapped up in a warm woolen blanket. Whether an hour's ride with a picnic break or a tour to the Kögelweiher pond with a stop at the Kögelhof: both have their charm. We are happy to organize the timetable!
Wieskirche
The Wieskirche church in the Pfaffenwinkel is easily accessible from us, and the 40-minute drive past the royal castles alone is an experience. The rococo pilgrimage church "Zum gegeißelten Heiland auf der Wies" was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984. In the landscape between the rivers Lech, Ammer and Loisach, the southern Ammersee and the southern end of Lake Starnberg up to the Ammergau mountains, churches and monasteries are closer together than anywhere else, explaining the term "Pfaffenwinkel" with benevolent respect:
Royal castles
World-famous: the castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. Both castles are only a few kilometers away from the town center of Füssen and attract over 1.5 million visitors every year. A visit to the castle is already a highlight in summer, and in winter it is a very special experience. The horse-drawn carriage ride up to Neuschwanstein Castle is the best tip for romantics. Our guests can also reach Hohenschwangau Castle in less than half an hour. The Museum of the Bavarian Kings also allows visitors to experience the history of the Wittelsbach dynasty up close.
Ettal Monastery
Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian founded the Benedictine monastery of Ettal in 1330 and the church was completed in 1370 after 40 years of construction. The pious vow foundation was linked to practical purposes, such as securing traffic routes, developing the area and establishing foundations. In 1710, the Ettal monastery functioned as a knights' academy and was one of the most important secondary schools of the time. After a major fire and destruction, the monastery complex is redesigned by the court architect Enrico Zucalli to the form it still has today.
Kempten (lat. Cambodonum)
Kempten is a perfect city for shopping, and in many ways a highlight for culture and history. The oldest written city in Germany is still clearly recognizable today as the Roman provincial capital: temple district, small thermal baths, forum with basilica ... In its accompanying exhibition with unique finds, the Archaeological Park provides an exciting insight into everyday life two millennia ago ...
Brewery tour
Braugasthof Falkenstein in Pfronten-Ried is a small brewery, which makes this tour all the more intense. Master brewer Stefan Rottenbucher explains the great art of brewing beer with knowledge, understanding and humor. The subsequent beer tasting can be combined with a hearty Weißwurst meal. If you register in good time, we will plan this very informative event for 6 or more participants.

Zugspitze
At 2,962 m, the Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany and one of the Alps' prime viewing mountains. In good weather, you can enjoy the 4-country view of the two- and three-thousand-meter peaks - and the only four-thousand-meter peak in the Eastern Alps.
You can reach the summit directly from Ehrwald with the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn. Even the ascent in the 100-passenger panoramic cabins is an experience. You glide almost silently up the mountain, overcoming a height difference of 1,725 m in just 10 minutes.

Alpspitze summer toboggan run
The longest summer toboggan run in the Allgäu is located in Nesselwang and is just a stone's throw away from the SCHLOSSANGER. It is considered one of the most beautiful and best toboggan runs in the Alps, is one kilometer long and offers 13 bends, 2 jumps and even a tunnel.
You can ride on single or double seats: this means that even smaller children from the age of three can safely enjoy the fun for the whole family together with an adult.
