nebelhorn

Great skiing balancing lack of snow for two weeks beforehand with enough chill to keep what's there and add the benefit of great views, often in brilliant sunshine. Resort was busy but once clear of the main lifts there is so much space that people don't intrude too much. Meanwhile there is enough challenge to please all but the most skilled thrill seekers. All restaurants served good value hearty meals too.

We took the several cable cars to the top of the mountain, each one getting slightly smaller than the previous which was fun. As we were newbies to skiing we went for the experience of being right at the top of the mountain and it was a great experience indeed. The view was phenomenal even on a slightly cloudy day. I know we are at the edge of the Alps and that the mountains are much bigger in France or Austria but goodness me the views were a still spectacular. There was a cafe at the top which was great, having a little beverage whilst enjoying the view.

The capacity to get people up was by far not sufficient in the week of carnaval. I had to wait 1.5 hours, and I had to take my son to ski school so not able to get up earlier. In a resort where the Talabfahrt is the main feat, this is disappointing since you simply cannot go down again if you want to avoid standing in line another time. Compared to other resorts in Austria, this simply cannot compete.

Reasonable prices and quality skiing one of several areas in the region you must visit! Perfect even if you just want a ride to the top with a great selection of Cafe's throughout!

Took the cable car right to the top on a clear blue day - no wind but just surreal the sights way up top! Sat out on the deck with a goulash soup and hot lamumba (chocolate and rum drink!) and watched it all with amazement even though I'm not a skier. So worth the ticket price, queuing up with the skiers all kitted out at the station, but rug up and take an empty camera for some stunning shots.

Meal was ok as we weren't very hungry, we only had soup and bread for lunch, but what we had was nice. The atmosphere was pretty good considering the type of restaurant it was. There was a nicer looking restaurant there also.

We skied for a day in Nebelhorn. We already skied in Copper Mountain (Colorado), Taos (New Mexico) and Arosa (Switzerland). The landscape from Nebelhord is amazing and the Nebelhornbahn (sections I and II) and the Nebelhorn Gipfelstation lifts work really well and with excellent capacity. One can go to the top of the mountain and back with or without skis. We found the offer of restaurants at different parts of the mountain very good. We found the beginners area (Seealpe "schlepplift", trail 7) excellent for practicing and not so full of people, since the mountain is overall for more experienced skiers. But we saw some "near accident" with the lift, which should have been better watched by people from the ski resort (someone should be ready to stop the lift, which did not happen when it should). We also found the "Vierersessel Koblat" (which lead to blue trail 2) very dangerous, for such short and uninteresting trail (trail 2). The end of the lift is a steep ramp, which seems to me very badly designed and prone to accidents. We took the lift 2 times and did not go back. We also find that there is a lack of education of the skiers. There is a large number of "bad" skiers who do not take the proper distance and do not watch for the people in front. I was run over once. There are no signs educating skiers that they should be always in control and pay attention to the skiers downhill, who have the "right of way". I would go back for the views and the walking trails, and I would recommend the beginners area. But given the bad design of some of the the lifts and the danger from other skiers, I did not feel safe skiing there.

If you have the time I would highly recommend a visit to the top of the Nebelhorn. You have to take 3 cable cars to reach the top but once you get there the view is amazing.Price to go to the top is 30.50 euros

Getting up with the Nebelhornbahn to the Höfatsstation or to the Gipfelstation (peak at 2227m altitude) is more than fun. It is a great experience with alpine feeling. On the summit you'll have a wonderful view over more than hundreds of peaks of the alps. You can also watch the numerous paragliders starting here. The restaurant offers a good selection of food, and there's a free wifi available. At the Höfatsstation you can go hiking or visit the Edmund-Probst-Haus (DAV lodge) nearby. There is also a nice playground for kids nearby, and the Marktrestaurant is a great place for having lunch or a coffee break.

I hiked from the Hotel Oberstdorf to the top of the Nebelhorn. It rained, there was mist, I missed the last cable car, and you know what it was one of the best hikes I have ever done. The merest glimpses of the views and peaks through the mist were breathtaking. I can only imagine what it will be like in fine weather and can't wait to hike it again. As a tip just beyond the Seealpe cable car station there is a wonderful coffee shop on a working farm which makes an excellent place to have lunch.

A fantastic experience to go to the top of the Nebelhorn 3 cable car journeys are required to get to the top. The views are spectacular and if you do not have the cable cars included. Your holiday rental it is worth spending out the money to see it. This is my favourite attraction in Oberstdorf, although everything in And around Oberstdorf is worth exploring!

We had a guest card and could use this cable car as many times as we wanted. Seen the numerous hiking trails starting from any of the three mountain stations, this is definitely and excellent investment!

You can go to the highest point (2224m) by the bahn, and use their restaurant and come down (1500m) and then walk down on foot to Oberstdorf (about 1 hour). For us it was very nice walk throuth the forest, then near Erdinger Arena.

If you are the first time take tickets till the top. The price is smth. about 30€ and worth it. On the third and last stop place (Nebelhorn 2224) you may see the most dramatic and the most expressive views even in summer. On the middle station (Stat. Höfatsblick 1932) there are also nice views. Over there I have made pictures of many alpine flowers. Fly zone activities can also be seen in this station. For hiking you need good shoes. If you stay for a long time and if you want hiking every day there are very good ticket offers for cable car for one week and for two weeks.

We are in our 60's and took the cable car to the top doing the three levels, and walked a short track to the very top. We were very fortunate to have a clear day in the middle of June. It is at 2224m , and the view was spectacular ! It was quite expensive, but worth it. If you stay in the hotels in Oberstdorf they give you a 'visitor's card' which gives small discounts for various attractions, including the Nebelhorn cable car. Some people walked part of the way back down, we were told one of the three sections would take an hour to walk. We took lots of photos, and had a coffee and relaxed at the middle level in the big restaurant .
