Ski touring is very trendy and is finding more and more fans among winter sports enthusiasts in beautiful Allgäu. Most ski areas have responded to the growing demand and are providing their own routes specifically for ski tourers on which they can climb the mountain safely. There is also a special route on the Tegelberg in Schwangau that makes an unforgettable ski tour possible.
More and more winter sports enthusiasts are foregoing the convenient ride up the lift and prefer to work their way up the mountain using their own power. The focus is on sportsmanship and enjoying nature before you quickly head back down to the valley on the normal ski slope. The Tegelberg in Schwangau has established itself as a popular touring mountain that offers ski tourers unforgettable winter impressions and wonderful views over the vast foothills of the Alps. From Monday to Sunday, from 8.00 to 17.30 , a designated route is available to tourers, which is 7,9 kilometers long and of moderate difficulty. Every Thursday is a touring evening on the Tegelberg; Then the route can even be walked until late at night at 2.00 . On the touring evening, the cozy mountain huts on the Tegelberg are also open late to give tourers a nice, sociable evening. A ski tour on the Tegelberg begins at the valley station and lasts about an hour and a half. There are enough paid parking spaces available right next to the valley station.
The Tegelberg in Schwangau is a striking mountain massif, the highest point of which is the 1881 meter high Branderschrofen. The Tegelberg is a popular destination for nature lovers, active athletes and those seeking relaxation all year round. In the cold months, the Tegelberg winter sports arena attracts skiers with its varied slopes and cross-country trails. A fun park, a children's ski area and opportunities for sledding and tobogganing can also be found here. Ski tourers also get their money's worth on the Tegelberg. A route specially designed for you takes you through a beautiful landscape up to the mountain station. The route runs east of the valley run on the Guardian Angel Trail through a forest to the Rohrkopf. Here - about halfway between the valley and mountain stations - is the cozy Rohrkopfhütte, which invites you to take a break.
In a rustic hut atmosphere, tourers can fortify themselves with a delicious snack, a regional hut meal and warm and cool drinks before continuing on their way. The tour to the Tegelberg impresses with omnipresent dream views of the snow-covered, vast foothills of the Alps and the snow-capped Allgäu mountains. The world-famous royal castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, which sit nearby, can also be seen during the tour. The ski slope between Rohrkopf and Grüble is closed to ascents. The tourers have to work their way up along the piste. In places the last section of the tour is quite steeply uphill. The DAV promotion rules should definitely be observed here. Once the climb has been completed, tourers can look forward to a panorama that will make them melt away. A panoramic restaurant and the Tegelberghaus, which was once Maximilian II's royal hunting lodge, invite you to stop off at the mountain station.
