Right in the middle of the snow: you. Winter in the Kleinwalsertal isn’t just about skiing & snowboarding – although the slopes here are seriously good. Winter has much more to offer. Head out on a torchlight walk through the valley, explore quiet snowy slopes on snowshoes or simply wander through forests wrapped in fresh snow.
Hotel & ski hut in one. Step outside, click into your skis or strap on your board – and off you go. Auenhütte is located right on the slopes at the Ifen. No carrying your gear. No ski bus. No detours through the valley. Perfect for anyone looking for a ski-in/ski-out hotel or an authentic ski hut in the Kleinwalsertal.
And thanks to the valley’s unique location, winter here reliably comes dressed in white – with excellent snow conditions for skiing, cross-country skiing and winter hiking.
Snowboarding and skiing at the Ifen is all about winter fun – from relaxed runs to steep sections for those who like it a little more challenging. In between: wide-open spaces. Silence. Flow. A ski area in the Kleinwalsertal that gives you the freedom to do winter your way.
More style. Less show. It’s not about higher, faster, further – it’s about moving with the rhythm of the mountains. Perfect for snowboarders, freestylers and anyone who’d rather feel their powder turns than count them. The Ifen gives you space – for lines, flow and freedom.
Off the board. Into the feeling.
Winter mountain vibes
Winter in the Kleinwalsertal isn’t just about skiing and snowboarding – although the slopes here are seriously good. Winter has much more to offer. Join a torchlight hike through the valley, explore quiet snowy slopes on snowshoes or take it easy on winter hiking trails through forests wrapped in fresh snow.
Anything’s Possible
Out of the ski room, skins on – and off you go. Right from Auenhütte in the Schwarzwassertal, the route takes you straight into untouched nature. Track by track. Winter at its most peaceful. A place with plenty of space for ski tourers & freestylers.
Our tip: Follow the valley towards Schwarzwasserhütte, which is also open in winter. And above it: the Gottesacker Plateau. Vast, silent, almost surreal. A place that feels like another world.
Discover the Kleinwalsertal
Track by track into the silence. Around 50 kilometres of cross-country ski trails wind through the Kleinwalsertal. Three routes take you out into the winter landscape – to places that are hard to reach on foot. Glide instead of walk. Breathe instead of talk.
If you’re new to cross-country skiing or want to refine your technique, you’ll find courses at the ski schools in the Kleinwalsertal. And the best part: just three bus stops away, you can hop straight onto the Küren–Wäldele–Egg cross-country trail.
In the Kleinwalsertal, several toboggan runs and the Allgäu Coaster are waiting for anyone who likes a little extra fun in the snow. Sometimes you walk up, sometimes you take the lift or magic carpet – and then simply enjoy the ride down.
Just start walking. In the morning, while the day is still quiet. Or in the afternoon, when the sun hangs low. Footsteps in the snow, crisp air in your lungs, your mind begins to clear. No destination, no rush. Just you, the trail – and those mountain views. A dream that simply happens along the way.
Straight to the Laubela Mountain Club. Leave your skis or board outside and warm up. After a day in the snow, it’s time to slow down. Chillout areas, honest food, good beats. Where mountain air meets design.
Here you’ll find the current piste map for the Hoher Ifen ski area, showing all slopes, lifts and lines at a glance.
It’s best to check the current prices directly with the cable car company. Our tip: Multi-day ski passes are well worth it – more freedom, more time in the snow, more flow. Check ski pass prices.
