Arrival by public transport
Take the train to Sonthofen, Pfronten/Ried, or Reutte, then continue by bus to Nesselwängle.
This short but impressive hike takes you through a beautiful winter landscape and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. It is suitable for both novice hikers and anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely hike in the region.
Please note that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries even when hiking in winter. In winter, in particular, you should pay special attention to trail conditions. Appropriate clothing, sturdy footwear, and, if necessary, hiking poles provide added safety. Stay on the marked trails.
Modern, well-maintained gear (boots, poles, and clothing) not only provides a significant level of safety but also makes winter hiking much easier. Don’t forget sunscreen (with a high SPF) and sunglasses, if needed, as well as plenty of fluids.
It doesn’t always have to be skiing, snowboarding, or cross-country skiing. Hikers can wander through the snow-covered fairy-tale landscape along nearly 81 kilometers of cleared trails. Along the way, cozy huts invite you to stop for a break. Sitting by the fireplace, warming up with a Jaga tea, or refueling with a snack for the next few kilometers—that’s how you can enjoy snowy walks to the fullest.
Because along the roughly 81 kilometers of cleared hiking trails, there’s so much to discover and see, and so much fresh air to breathe in, that every step becomes a pleasure—and the inns and cafés along the routes offer plenty of opportunities to refuel and warm up. If you’re looking for a truly special experience, join a guided snowshoe hike. For those who want to aim high, the Tannheimer Valley offers two options for summiting a peak even in winter: the Neunerköpfle in Tannheim, home to the largest summit logbook in the Alps, or the Gamskopf with its panoramic information center in Grän.
Take the train to Sonthofen, Pfronten/Ried, or Reutte, then continue by bus to Nesselwängle.
On the A7 highway, take the "Oy-Mittelberg" exit onto the B310 toward Wertach and then to Oberjoch. From there, follow the signs for "Tannheimer Tal" (B199) to Nesselwängle.
From the Tyrolean side, drive through Reutte onto the B198 toward Lechtal until you reach Weißenbach, then cross the Gaicht Pass along the B199 to Nesselwängle.
