Kanzelwandbahn Mountain Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Thanks to the Kanzelwandbahn the ascent to the Kanzelwandgipfel is possible even without much effort. Already from the mountain station of the cable car you can expect great views into the valley.

Fellhorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

From the Fellhorn, you have a fantastic 360-degree view. Actually, even better than from the Kanzelwand. Along the ridge path between the Kanzelwand and the Fellhorn, you can discover some truly stunning alpine flowers.

September 20, 2023,Von der Kanzelwand Bergstation zum Fellhorngipfel über die Schlapoldalpe– traumhafte Gratwege🤩☀️🥾⛰️👍

For me this was one of the most beautiful ridge hikes in the best weather with fantastic views of the mountains around Oberstdorf and the Kleinwalsertal🥾⛰️☀️🤩👍 It's best to get there early during the week, then it's not so crowded😉 and you have the paths almost to yourself 😅

To start my holiday in Kleinwalsertal, I went up from Riezlern with the Kanzelwandbahn. When you leave the mountain station, after a few meters you go straight up to the Kipfelkreuz on the Kanzelwand. After visiting the Kanzelwand at 1,957 m, I went back towards the mountain railway and then walked on mostly good, well-maintained gravel paths towards Fellhorn. The …

Because of the high temperatures, today we took the Fellhorn cable car near Oberstdorf and instead did a small summit tour. The Kanzelwand, the Fellhorn and the Schlappolteck were on my route. Of course you are not alone up here, but at the back at Schippolteck you were almost alone and the great view all around was simply magnificent.
