    The Terrain

    16 runs across 32 km of piste

    Hindelang Oberjoch spreads 16 runs and 32 kilometres of piste over a vertical of 429 metres, from 1,130 metres to 1,559 metres on the Allgäu-Tyrol border. Intermediates own this mountain at 75%, with 19% beginner and 6% advanced, and no expert-rated runs. That balance makes for fast, flowing skiing on wide groomed pistes rather than anything technical. Modern lifts do much of the work, with an eight-seater, three six-seaters, a surface lift and a T-bar moving skiers up the slopes, so queues rarely become a problem on a normal day.

    The Iseler side is where most confident intermediates will want to spend their time, with long cruising descents, while the gentler Kühgundkopf terrain is easier on less experienced legs. Oberjoch has built a strong reputation with families, and a large children's learning area with magic carpets sits near the base. A snowpark on the Iseler side adds some variety for freestyle riders. Advanced skiers will find only a handful of steeper pitches, so this is a place for volume and smooth carving rather than a challenge-seeker's destination.
