WHERE SUMMER IN THE MOUNTAINS BECOMES AN EXPERIENCE
Hiking, enjoying and experiencing the Allgäu mountains with all your senses
When the first rays of sunshine illuminate the mountain peaks and the alpine meadows glow in lush green, one of the most beautiful times of the year begins around the Gaisalpe. Numerous hiking trails lead directly from our doorstep into the impressive Allgäu mountains – from leisurely walks to challenging summit adventures.
Whether you are heading to the idyllic Lake Gaisalpsee, climbing the Rubihorn, Nebelhorn or Entschenkopf, or exploring the Sonnenköpfe peaks – your mountain adventure starts right here.
After an eventful hike, genuine Allgäu hospitality awaits you. Many of our ingredients come from our own mountain farm and are lovingly prepared to create delicious regional specialities. Whether you take a seat in our cosy dining room, our rustic historic parlour or on our spacious sun terrace, enjoy homemade dishes accompanied by magnificent views across the Iller Valley and into the Allgäu Alps.
During the summer months, our cattle and calves spend their summer grazing on the lush alpine pastures around Lake Gaisalpsee together with livestock from other local mountain farms. It is a living tradition that has been part of summer at the Gaisalpe for generations and reflects our close connection with nature.
WINTER MAGIC AT THE GAISALPE
A cosy mountain retreat and tobogganing fun in the Allgäu Alps
When the first snow transforms the Allgäu mountains into a sparkling winter wonderland, the Gaisalpe reveals its very special charm. Snow-covered winter hiking trails, crisp mountain air and the cosy atmosphere of our mountain inn make every visit a memorable experience.
After a winter hike, our welcoming dining room and rustic historic parlour are the perfect places to warm up and relax. Look forward to regional specialities and products from our own mountain farm – freshly prepared and served with genuine Allgäu hospitality.
One of our winter highlights is the natural toboggan run along the mountain road towards Reichenbach. Toboggans are available to hire directly from us. Whether you are visiting with family or friends, an exhilarating ride down the mountain is one of the most enjoyable winter experiences around the Gaisalpe.
For those looking to experience winter in a different way, we regularly host atmospheric night tobogganing evenings. You can find the latest dates on our Facebook page and in the “Latest News” section of our website.
Our night tobogganing evenings take place outdoors at our toboggan hut, creating a truly unique atmosphere beneath the winter night sky – an unforgettable experience for young and old alike.
HOW TO REACH US
Your hike to the Gaisalpe begins at the car park in Reichenbach. From there, it takes approximately 45 minutes to reach us.
