Two-Countries - One hiking region - Welcome to Kleinwalsertal-Oberstdorf

Arrive and breathe in deeply - What do you want to do first? An easy walk from hut to hut into valleys or a mountain tour with a higher summit point? 185 km of marked trails between Germany and Austria literally make hiking borderless. No matter where your feet take you: stunning scenery as well as highlights for all your senses are your rewards! When your legs need a break, cable cars and lifts take over. Looking for the right accommodation? Book our offers for Grenzenlos Wandern (Borderless Hiking), cable cars included. Looking for a special experience? Choose from a variety of guided hikes in varying altitudes between 1,100 and 2,500 m.
