    The Overview

    Fellhorn-Kanzelwand delivers Germany's most distinctive cross-border skiing experience, uniquely spanning both Germany and Austria across 36 kilometres of diverse terrain reaching 1,967 metres above sea level. This remarkable twin-mountain resort combines the German Fellhorn with the Austrian Kanzelwand, creating one of the largest ski areas in the Allgäu Alps with a substantial 1,047-metre vertical drop. The resort excels in providing varied terrain for all abilities, featuring predominantly intermediate runs alongside challenging mogul slopes, ski routes, and two spectacular valley descents stretching up to 5.7 kilometres. Enhanced by comprehensive artificial snowmaking across the entire ski area and positioned within the expansive Oberstdorf-Kleinwalsertal region, Fellhorn-Kanzelwand offers exceptional snow security and seamless connectivity to over 130 kilometres of interconnected Alpine skiing.

    The Terrain

    26 runs across 36 km of piste

    Fellhorn Kanzelwand Resort is a cross-border ski area linking Oberstdorf in Germany with the Kleinwalsertal in Austria, with 26 runs and 36 kilometres of piste. The vertical is 1,047 metres from a 920 metre base to a 1,967 metre summit. Grading is 39% beginner, 56% intermediate and 5% advanced, with no expert pistes, so confident intermediates are well served. Cable cars and gondolas lift skiers from both sides, supported by six-seat chairs and a handful of drag lifts, so the area is easy to reach in either country.

    You can start from Oberstdorf on the Fellhornbahn or from Riezlern on the Kanzelwandbahn, and ski across the border between the two peaks. The terrain mixes broad carving pistes above the tree line with sheltered runs lower down, and there is a mogul piste and a snow park for variety. Freeride routes exist off the main slopes but need local knowledge and avalanche awareness. Fellhorn Kanzelwand suits intermediates and families who want a long day with changing scenery rather than steeps. Advanced skiers will find the pistes tame, and experts should look further afield.

    When to visit Fellhorn ​Kanzelwand Resort

    Fellhorn-Kanzelwand operates a highly reliable winter season typically running from early December through late March, with exceptional snow security enhanced by one of the Alps' most advanced artificial snowmaking systems covering all 36 kilometres of pistes. The resort benefits from its varied elevation range between 920 and 1,967 metres, creating diverse microclimates that preserve excellent skiing conditions throughout the season. Peak snow conditions typically occur during February, when the resort averages 104 centimetres of snow depth at summit elevation, ranking amongst Germany's top three ski areas for snow reliability. The cross-border location provides strategic weather advantages, with north-facing slopes maintaining superior powder quality whilst the varied aspects ensure consistent skiing regardless of prevailing conditions. The resort's elevated position and comprehensive snowmaking infrastructure guarantee dependable skiing from the first winter storms through the final spring sessions.

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all. A South Tyrol court has overturned Santa Cristina’s rejection of the new Monte Pana-Saltria link on procedural grounds, after the council skipped required public information sessions. Opponents want the missing sessions held and a fresh vote, and nothing has been approved. For now it’s still a bus between the two, but a plan first floated in 2017 is back in the conversation.
