Description Fellhorn/Kanzelwand – Oberstdorf/Riezlern

About 7 km south of Oberstdorf in Faistenoy, the lifts start up to the Fellhorn and towards the Kanzelwand. With the Fellhornbahn II, an eight-person gondola lift, you can quickly reach the mid-station at 1780 m via an intermediate station. From the mid-station, you can either take a 60-person cable car up to the summit at 1967 m or put on your skis and head down to the valley station of the See-Eck six-seater chairlift and the Scheidtobel double chairlift.

The See-Eckbahn takes you back to the mid-station, while the Scheidtobelbahn brings you over to the other slopes at the Bierenwang and Möser six-seater chairlifts. With the Zweiländerbahn four-seater chairlift, you finally reach the Kanzelwand in Austria.

From the mountain station, you can either ski back towards Germany or towards Austria. On the Austrian side, the detachable Zwerenalpe six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods takes winter sports enthusiasts back up to the Kanzelwand. The runs are mostly of intermediate difficulty and on treeless slopes.

From here, the Kanzelwand valley run leads down to Riezlern in the Kleinwalsertal. In Riezlern itself, there are three more drag lifts, especially for beginners. A six-person gondola lift then takes you back up to the Kanzelwand.

Catering is well taken care of in the ski area. Cozy huts and self-service restaurants invite you to take a break.
