Johannishof sits in Schneidbach, 1 km from Nesselwang village. The Allgäu Alps surround us — here's what's nearby.
Several peaks are accessible right from Nesselwang. Most have cable cars running in winter, putting panoramic summit views within easy reach.
The most accessible peak — practically in Nesselwang's backyard. The Alpspitzbahn gondola takes us most of the way up; from the mountain station it's a short groomed walk to the summit cross. Also a popular toboggan run.
One of the most popular winter hiking destinations in the region. The Breitenbergbahn gondola runs in winter, with a groomed trail to the summit. Excellent panorama of the Allgäu and Lech valley Alps.
Accessed via the Hochalphornbahn from Pfronten-Steinach. Great views over the Allgäu Alps and into the Tannheimer Tal. Can be combined with the Hochalphorn via a ridge trail.
Lower elevation makes this a good winter option for beginners and families. Small lift operates, groomed winter trails. A gentle introduction to alpine walking.
Often combined with the Edelsberg via a ridge trail. In winter, the ridge may require snowshoes depending on conditions — check locally. Accessed from the Hochalphornbahn area.
The highest peak in the immediate area, on the German-Austrian border. Not a standard winter hike — requires alpine experience, crampons, and avalanche awareness. Only for experienced group members.
Beyond the slopes — cross-country trails, tobogganing, and more winter fun in the Allgäu.
The Allgäu region has dozens of ski areas within an hour's drive. Several are covered by the Königscard — here are the closest.
