Tour

This snowshoe tour with a Zipfelbob at Hörnle is an absolute insider tip: few other tours in the Alpine foothills offer such a magnificent panorama during the entire ascent. Over snowy open spaces and magical forest sections, the view of the Ammergau Alps becomes even more beautiful with every meter of altitude gained. This panoramic tour is a must for all Alpine lovers!

Our Zipfelbob tour starts at the parking lot of the Hörnlebergbahn. Here, one of our trained guides will welcome you and explain how to properly use snowshoes and poles. The snowshoe tour proceeds at a moderate incline over open areas past forest sections. The ascent to Hörnle is very varied through a beautiful mountain landscape with many passages that always offer great views towards the valley and the Ammergau Alps.

Slightly below the mountain peak, we reach the Hörnlehütte. It invites you to enjoy regional specialties and the great view in a cozy hut atmosphere. If you want to end the ascent here, you have the opportunity to stop at the hut, which is open all year round.

For those with more stamina, we continue to the summit. The path leads another 100m up a free slope. From here, you can enjoy the magnificent 360° panorama. The view of the Alpine foothills, dotted with its lake landscape, all the way to the Zugspitze, is worth the climb. Now, even the summit conquerors can whiz down to the hut on a Zipfelbob for a refreshment stop.

4.5 km long, groomed toboggan run back to our starting point, the Hörnlebahn parking lot. Don’t miss this gem of a snowshoe tour! Contact us and we’ll plan a wonderful outing with you where everyone gets their money’s worth.
