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.
