The Hörnerbahn at Bolsterlang climbs from 894 metres to 1,665 metres, giving a vertical of 771 metres across 11 runs and 17 kilometres of piste. That is a surprisingly big drop for a village ski area. The split is 47% beginner, 41% intermediate and 12% advanced, with no expert-rated runs. A gondola, two six-seater chairs, a double chair and two T-bars cover the mountain, with the gondola doing the heavy lifting from the valley. The long vertical means runs have real length, and the upper slopes feel more alpine than the village location suggests.

Bolsterlang is one of the Hörnerdörfer villages in the Allgäu, and its slopes reward skiers who like steady, long descents back toward town. Beginners get wide, forgiving pistes, intermediates have a good spread of mid-grade cruising, and the advanced 12% adds some pitch for confident skiers who want a little steepness. It is a solid pick for families and mixed-ability groups who value uncrowded slopes and a relaxed pace. Expect honest regional skiing rather than big-resort mileage, and plan on an easy, comfortable day rather than a technical test.
