Tannheim between Vilsalpsee and Neunerköpfle

When choosing a hotel in Tannheim, you can tailor your trip to specific activities: nature at Vilsalpsee, designated hiking trails, cultural attractions in the Tannheimer Tal or climbing. Neunerköpfle adds hiking and a ski area in winter to the options. This lets you plan your stay around what you would like to do locally.

Vilsalpsee and trails in the nature reserve

The Vilsalpsee nature reserve is part of the municipality of Tannheim. The deep-blue lake lies in the protected area, surrounded by mountains; a walking trail leads there. Four designated hiking trails allow visitors to explore the nature reserve in depth.

The walk identifies the lake as its destination, while the four trails offer a thorough exploration of the protected area. This distinction can help you choose what to do: you can make the lake your focus or use the trails to explore the nature reserve.

Hiking trails and mountain activities

The 9erlebnis hiking trail has eleven stations with information about the diverse natural environment, the unique mountain scenery and the animal kingdom. Nature, mountains and animals are therefore the trail’s main themes. Admission to the 9erlebnis hiking trail is free; the lift ride is subject to a charge. If you plan to take the lift, check the current lift conditions before you travel.

An 8-person gondola takes ten minutes to reach Neunerköpfle. Neunerköpfle is a starting point for short and longer hikes and a ski area in winter. Two distinctions are useful for planning: the possible length of a hike and the ski area’s seasonal connection to winter. Gondola operating conditions may vary by season and weather.

Cultural history in the Tannheimer Tal

The Tannheimer Tal Local History Museum tells the story of the Tannheimer Tal, providing a cultural and historical focus alongside nature and hiking activities. Group and coach visits are available at any time on request. If you are planning such a visit, confirm availability in advance.

Felixe Mina´s Haus is a listed building; guided tours focus on the historic building. Together with the local history museum, it offers two different perspectives: the museum tells the story of the Tannheimer Tal, while Felixe Mina´s Haus focuses on a single listed building.

Climbing in Tannheim

The Tannheim climbing and bouldering center is a child-friendly climbing gym with a large bouldering area and roped routes. The indoor facility therefore offers different types of climbing. If you would like to include climbing as a focus when choosing where to stay, the gym provides a specific option alongside hiking trails and cultural history. It complements outdoor activities with an indoor climbing facility. For a stay with children, the child-friendly climbing gym can be a distinct activity focus.
