Right at the start of the winter season, conditions are ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy skiing in peace and quiet, without the hustle and bustle.
Why the start of the season in December is worth it:
- Slopes almost to yourself: in December, the Allgäu ski slopes are still quiet – perfect for connoisseurs and families.
- Hardly any waiting times: Whether at the gondola or the lift, long queues are not an issue in the early season.
- Convenient access: The car park is located directly in front of the gondola, so you can get started without any hassle.
- Discounted prices: Many mountain railways offer attractive discounts in the early season – another reason to start the season early.
The best start dates for your skiing day – our nearby tips:
- OK-Bergbahnen in Oberstdorf: The slopes on the Fellhorn are expected to open on 6 December, provided the snow conditions are right.
- Hörnerbahn Bolsterlang: Also planned for 6 December – an insider tip for those who love extensive slopes.
- After the first snowfalls, the Söllereck ski area in the Oberallgäu mountains was the first to open – and the Grasgehren ski area in Balderschwang is expected to open this coming weekend. - You can find information about the current status of the Allgäu slopes here!
Both ski resorts are just over 20 minutes away from the Krone by car, so you can hit the slopes straight after a relaxing breakfast.
