Climbers are certain to get their money's worth at the Ifen Hotel: the varied mountain landscapes of the Kleinwalsertal have the right rock face for any level, from beginners to experts. Our experienced mountain guides at the natural bouldering garden of the Kleinwalsertal Mountain School teach you how to stay safe before you head out into the real mountains.

Here, three exciting routes await you, and you get to practise what you have learned right away: on the Walsersteig route, beginners and families can make their first climbing attempts. More seasoned climbers will enjoy the popular Mindelheimer or 2-Länder route. Whichever adventure you choose, you will always be rewarded with magnificent views of the mountains. Climbing holidays in the Vorarlberg region come with a guarantee of fun!

Whether a leisurely hike with the whole family or a challenging MTB tour on your own: the summer mountain railways always serve as a comfortable climbing assistance. As an overnight guest at the Ifen Hotel, you can use all eight summer mountain railways and lifts (from around the beginning of May to the beginning of November) in the Kleinwalsertal/Oberstdorf region free of charge - and as often as you like.

Just leave the car in the garage during your holiday at the Ifen Hotel? Of course! With your guest card, the AllgäuWalserCard, you can take the Walser bus through the Kleinwalsertal free of charge. The "Ausserhirschegg" stop is right on the hotel premises. This saves you from the search for a parking space and additional parking fees.

Please note the respective operating times of the mountain railways and the bus timetables. We will be happy to inform you.

Trail running in the mountains of Wals is an unparalleled running experience. The sport combines the ecstatic joy of running with the adventurous thrill of exercising in nature. Across three altitude levels ranging from 1,100 to 2,500 metres, beginners and experts alike get to challenge themselves and discover the mountains under their own steam. Signposted running trails at various levels of difficulty allow you to take in the beauty of the Kleinwalsertal from new perspectives and experience moments of Alpine bliss.

The Kleinwalsertal offers several destinations for excursions from our Ifen Hotel. Visit the Alpine herb garden at the Hörnlepass, the incredible natural phenomenon of the Breitachklamm or the Oberstdorf ski-jumping hill for a fun day out. Between June and September, you can visit one of the Alpine dairies of the region and learn how Walser Bergkäse, the popular mountain cheese, is produced. If the weather is not ideal for outdoor adventures, the ski museum is well worth a visit.
