Find hotels in Altusried

Altusried combines hiking trails, cycling, cross-country skiing routes that depend on snow conditions, and culture at the Allgäu Open-Air Theater. If you are looking for a hotel in Altusried, your travel dates and reason for visiting are useful starting points: a theater program follows a different schedule from the trails, which are groomed only when snow conditions are good. The church and village museum in Frauenzell add historical themes to the range of local attractions.

Hiking, cycling and cross-country skiing

The Oberallgäu Circular Hiking Trail and the Way of St. James pilgrimage route pass through Altusried. The area offers scenic cycling routes and a well-developed network of cycle paths. Continuous cycling connections run from Frauenzell in the west, across Altusried, to the city of Kempten. In winter, cross-country trails are groomed when snow conditions are good; various loops can be skied over a total of around 26 kilometers. This activity is explicitly dependent on the season and snow conditions. Check the current trail status before making specific cross-country skiing plans. This lets you choose travel dates to suit either a snow-dependent winter activity or the hiking and cycling options.

Open-air theater and culture in Frauenzell

Every three years, the Allgäu Open-Air Theater stages open-air plays, musicals and fairy tales. In between, operas, operettas and concerts are also held; individual productions vary. The program is therefore not limited to a single type of event, but the specific date is what matters when planning your visit. The theater is located just below the village of Im Tal, right next to the outdoor swimming pool. The heated outdoor pool is also part of the local leisure options.

Frauenzell is home to the early 18th-century parish church of the Assumption of Mary. The Raritäten-Kästle village museum displays more than 500 historical objects, most of them from the region. The church and museum have different focuses: sacred architecture on the one hand, and historical objects with predominantly regional connections on the other. Altusried is also a suitable venue for the Allgäu-Swabia Literature Festival. If you are visiting for a performance or the festival, check the specific date in advance.
