The Ski Resort
The skiing area around Alpspitze (1575m) and Edelsberg (1524m) is located above Nesselwang in the Allgäu Alps. Winter sports enthusiasts can expect seven downhill runs with a total of eleven kilometres of slopes, all of which can be artificially snowed in. So skiing pleasure is guaranteed during the winter months. The Alpspitzbahn ski area offers fun for skiers and snowboarders of all levels of ability. In addition to well-prepared family slopes (six kilometres are marked blue, four kilometres medium), winter sports enthusiasts can also find a more demanding mogul slope or a black run. Eight lifts take winter sports enthusiasts up the mountain in comfort. And not only during the day: Even after work, a ski trip to the Alpspitze is worthwhile, because for night skiing the slopes are open from 18 to 21 o'clock.
The little ones will have great fun in the Ski-Kinderland. The lovingly designed practice area resembles an enchated forest. In an ideal environment the ski dwarves can start their first attempts on the boards. The children's conveyor belt and the mini-lift take them comfortably up the hill again after the first small downhill runs and the ski school fire brigade train is also ready for action. While the little ones are optimally looked after and learn the winter sports ABC in the dwarf courses, the parents can enjoy skiing down the slopes. Adults, who are not yet safe on the boards, can start into the white piste fun in the two ski schools and make their very first turns.
The 5ive Alpspitzpark is the hotspot for snow boarders and free skiers in the ski area. Lots of rails, boxes, kickers and much more - the fun park is a true paradise for all freestyle fans. In the delimited "Kidspark" even the smallest rookies can show what they can do and practice new tricks on the various obstacles. Those who prefer to jib on natural obstacles will find plenty of opportunities in the "Woodpark". In the snowpark there are also several cool sessions in winter. Especially great: The fun park is floodlit from 18 to 21 o'clock.
A special highlight for touring fans is the touring evening on Wednesdays. Then the slopes are even open until 10 pm.
