Summer holidays in the Allgäu

Summer above the valley

In the mornings, fresh mountain air lies over the valley and your gaze wanders far across Fischen and the Allgäu peaks. During the day, most people head outside: onto sun-drenched mountain paths, up to panoramic viewpoints or to the water for a refreshing dip. At the Tanneck, summer becomes an invitation to spend more time outdoors and simply feel happy. Whether you’re out and about being active or relaxing with a view, summer here in the Allgäu offers exactly the blend of movement, peace and wide horizons you dream of for a proper break.

On panoramic paths with views for miles

Hiking bliss & wide-open mountain views

Fresh air in your lungs, grass still damp with dew, cowbells chiming somewhere in the distance. Hikers are out and about all around the Tanneck – early in the morning and later in the day. Some stroll leisurely through the valley, others head higher up onto alpine tracks and panoramic trails. With its three altitude levels, the Allgäu offers plenty of variety: gentle valley routes, intermediate panoramic tours or demanding via ferratas, all within easy reach. As a guest at the Tanneck, you can reach some of these starting points free of charge with the Hörner cable cars. Step by step, the views open up; meadows give way to forests, and higher up, even more beautiful vistas of the Allgäu await (yes, it really does get better).

Summer activities in the Allgäu

Some summer days call for something out of the ordinary. How about a day packed with pure adventure and action? For example, canyoning. You’ll race through gorges, scramble over rocks and plunge straight through the water. When paragliding, you glide silently into the air and admire the beauty of the Allgäu from above. If you prefer things a little calmer, how about a hike with fluffy companions? A llama walk around Fischen is not only great fun, it also slows the pace and does you an astonishing amount of good.
