Allgaeu/Bavarian Swabia/Lake Constance holiday apartment

Cross country skiing and winter sports

Oberstaufen is one of the leading and most popular winter sport regions in Germany. The ski region of Oberstaufen belongs to one of the most beautiful and snowy estuaries. Furthermore, the season is extended with snow machines. This is perfect for all winter sport fans – whether they be alpine skiers, cross country skiers, snowboarders, lugers, winter hikers or ice skaters. All of this even when the weather in Germany should be somewhat milder and there is no snow any where else. There are more than 80 km of well prepared descents and over 380 km of slopes of all difficulties in the entire ski region. A few slope sand winter hiking paths even begin behind your holiday apartment. Multiple sledding descents are located nearby. Also very popular are romantic horse drawn carriages and curling. Relax in this impressive winter landscape.
