Allgäu

Lush alpine meadows, rustic mountain huts & the sound of cowbells: your personal guide to the Allgäu

Freibergsee in the fall near Oberstdorf

Our Check for the Allgäu

  1. Flair

    Alpine panoramas, fresh mountain air, and serious outdoor adventure.

  2. Travel season

    May through October is ideal for hiking; December through March if you're after winter sports.

  3. Travel duration

    Plan at least four to seven days — you really need time to settle into the pace here.

  4. Price level

    Moderate to upscale. Hotels near the famous castles tend to cost noticeably more.

  5. Food

    Allgäu cheese spaetzle is non-negotiable. They taste best at a mountain hut after a long hike.

  6. Transport

    A car gives you the most flexibility — trailhead parking lots are spread out across the region.
