Oberstdorf Kleinwalsertal

About the area

Kleinwalsertal-Oberstdorf spreads 108 km of pistes across several sectors, and the balance sits firmly in the middle: 48 km blue and 43 km red, so intermediates have the most to work with. Beginners are well served too — 46% of the pistes are green or blue (50 km), four magic carpets cover first steps, and four short easy runs start next to a lift base. Families benefit from those carpets plus 13 gondolas and cable cars, which means small children can be loaded without a moving chair. Experts get 14 km of black, expert and freeride terrain (13%), but should note that the longest vertical on a single run is 167 m.

The ski area runs from 822 m to 2,213 m and is served by 52 lifts, including 14 chairlifts, 9 gondolas and 4 cable cars, with 8 drag lifts and 7 T-bars filling in. The longest run measures 702 m. Higher sectors near the top station are the safer bet for snow early and late in the season.
