Have you ever tried snowbiking? In Immenstadt, the oldest town in the Oberallgäu, it's really easy. If you prefer the classic way, you can discover the mountain landscape around the residential town while skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, ski touring and (snow) hiking on the local mountain Mittag.

The special features of snowbiking

Once you arrive at the Mittag summit at 1,452 metres above sea level, you can enjoy the fantastic view over the sunny slope to the Allgäu Alps. The snowbike hire shop is right on the spot. In order to be given a bike, however, you first have to complete a four to five-hour introductory course on the special features of this winter sport for a fee: Because whether it's drifting, gliding, carving or deep-snow wobbling - a lot is possible on a snowbike. And there are also important tips from experts on how to ride the lift correctly on a snowbike so that everything runs smoothly later on. After the workshop, you will receive your own "snowbike" driving licence - and you're ready to go. Thanks to the low centre of gravity and the stable sitting position, you can glide easily and effortlessly down any ski slope or the 5.5-kilometre natural toboggan run. Snowbiking also gives your back, stomach and legs a workout. Thanks to the high level of safety and the joint-friendly movements, children as young as six years old can ride a snowbike. And this fun is also ideal for active senior citizens.

Culinary experiences at the midday restaurant

You can fortify yourself right at the midway station of the Mittagbahn cable car, in the Rasthaus am Mittag. Bavarian-Austrian specialities can be enjoyed in the rustic parlour with its tiled stove or outside on the sunny terrace. And while the adults relax with an espresso, the little ones can let off steam in the large children's playground right next door.

Summer activities in Immenstadt: mountain biking, hiking and climbing

And after the end of the snow season? Summery Immenstadt also has plenty to offer: Varied trails for mountain bikers, such as the tour to Bärenköpfle, start right at the valley station of the Mittagbahn cable car. Here, the route leads from the tarmac to the gravel path and finally over grassy slopes up to the summit cross. Mountaineers, hikers and nature lovers should take the Mittagbahn cable car before starting their routes: experienced climbers can look forward to challenging tours on the north side of the Steineberg. Several hiking trails also start at the top, at the Mittag summit. Would you prefer a short walk? Then the quarter-hour excursion to Alpe Obenberg is just the thing. The slightly more sporty option is the one-hour tour to Steineberg. The last section to the summit cross even offers a short climbing section.

Getting to the Mittagbahn cable car

The Mittagbahn cable car can be reached on foot from Immenstadt railway station in around 10 minutes. As soon as you leave the station, simply follow Bahnhofstraße until you see the street Am Graben in front of you. Turn right onto this road and walk along it for around 650 metres until you see the Mittagbahn valley station directly in front of you.
