Discover Nesselwang – Find hotels for your trip

Nesselwang offers activities for different seasons: cross-country skiing, a mountain ride, a waterfall adventure trail, rail-guided tobogganing and a 3D archery course each have their own appeal. The history of skiing and summer evenings celebrating local traditions are also part of what the area has to offer. If you are looking for a hotel in Nesselwang, the time of year can be a good starting point for planning your trip: first consider which of these activities you would like to shape your stay.

Cross-country trails and the Alpspitzbahn: different highlights

Nesselwang’s cross-country trail network includes two loops and a floodlit trail. The Kappeler loop and the Grüntensee loop are groomed for both classic cross-country skiing and skating. If you prefer one of these techniques, you can compare the loops based on this shared feature. Snow conditions affect operations, so check them before planning a day on the trails.

The Alpspitzbahn Nesselwang offers a different perspective. Its two combined lifts consist of 8-person gondolas and a 4-person chairlift. They take passengers from the town up to an altitude of 1,500 metres. The activities therefore differ in the kind of experience they offer: the cross-country trails centre on two groomed loops and a floodlit trail, while the lift takes you up from the town. You can consider both separately when planning, without having to choose a particular order.

Forest trail, tobogganing and archery course

The adventure trail to the Nesselwang waterfall is a forest path with exposed roots that children can enjoy too. The route includes a steep section and metal steps—useful information if you are planning to include it in your day. The AlpspitzCOASTER offers a different kind of experience: rail-guided tobogganing all year round, in both summer and winter. This means you can choose between a path through forest and over roots and a rail-guided ride.

The Allgäu Trendsport Centre also has a 3D archery course with 12 targets, which you can complete as part of a short hike. As a seasonal outdoor activity, the course depends on the weather and seasonal availability. If it is important to your trip, check in advance whether it is available on your dates. The number of targets and the walk to reach them make the course a different kind of activity from the cross-country trails or the coaster.

Skiing history and summer evenings celebrating local traditions

Visitors interested in local history can see an exhibition in Nesselwang about more than 100 years of skiing. It features historic skis, documents, display boards, trophies and medals. The exhibition covers the beginnings of skiing, the achievements of Nesselwang’s skiers and the beginnings of ski tourism in the market town. It complements the active winter sports on offer by exploring their history.

During the summer months, the Nesselwang traditional costume association and its various groups regularly hold evenings celebrating local traditions. Together with the seasonally available archery course, these offer another focus for summer trips; the coaster, by contrast, is presented as a year-round tobogganing activity. If you are planning to attend an event, specific dates may be important. Cross-country skiing, a mountain ride, culture and outdoor activities appeal to different interests—choose your travel dates based on what you would like to experience in Nesselwang.
