The Hochschelpen (1,550 meters) is not a special mountain, but an easily accessible hiking destination outside of midsummer. And it has the right distance for a far-reaching panorama of the Allgäu Alps.

Hiking

The inconspicuous peak of the Hochschelpen offers a prime seat for a panoramic view of the Allgäu Alps, which you can enjoy during a short break.

Great place for a snowshoe hike 🥰. Really a beautiful view and a quiet place in winter too. 😉
