## About Oberstdorf-Nebelhorn

Oberstdorf is the southernmost town in Germany, in the Allgäu Alps, and it is a proper year-round resort town rather than a winter-only base. It is best known outside skiing for its ski-jumping hill, which opens the Four Hills Tournament every New Year.

The skiing splits over several separate mountains. The Nebelhorn gives the longest descent in the Allgäu, over 7 km down to the valley. The Fellhorn-Kanzelwand area straddles the Austrian border and is the largest linked sector, with wide open slopes above the treeline. Söllereck is the gentle family mountain.

## Where lessons start

Söllereck is the beginner mountain — gentle, sunny, with a good nursery area and none of the exposure of the higher sectors. Fellhorn is the natural progression once green runs are comfortable.

## Getting there

Munich is about two hours by road, and Oberstdorf is the terminus of a direct railway line from Munich and Augsburg, with the station a short walk from the centre.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which mountain in Oberstdorf is best for beginners?

Söllereck. It is the gentle family mountain — sunny, with a good nursery area and none of the exposure of the higher sectors. Once green runs feel comfortable, Fellhorn-Kanzelwand, the largest linked sector with wide open slopes above the treeline, is the natural next step. The Nebelhorn, with its 7 km descent to the valley, is for later.

### Can I reach Oberstdorf by train?

Yes, easily. Oberstdorf is the terminus of a direct railway line from Munich and Augsburg, with the station a short walk from the centre; by road, Munich is about two hours. The ski mountains are separate rather than linked, so agree with your instructor which one to meet at — ski buses connect them.
