View of the Vils Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you come up the Vilstalstrasse, this high valley opens up almost surprisingly. From here it goes on to the Tannheimer Tal near Schattwald or to Jungholz ... but both are still connected with steep gradients.

The view of the Vilsalpsee is fantastic. What I don't like is this strange new building.

After a strenuous tour, you can comfortably eat here overlooking the lake. To recommend are the Kässpätzle :)

September 30, 2026,3 Täler 🏞 2 Seeen 🏖 Tour 🚵‍♀️🚵🏻‍♂️ Vils- Tannheimer- Achtal, Vilsalpsee und Haldensee

Starting in Pfronten, the route took us along beautiful forest paths (a short section of rooty trail) into the Tannheimer Tal.
The detour to Vilsalpsee was definitely worth it; it is beautifully nestled in the mountains 🏞. Continuing to Haldensee, then back through the pasture area 🐄🐂 in the Achtal to Pfronten.

A wonderful triathlon: cycled a nice little round, hiked around the lake and swam in a very refreshing water temperature.
It's just beautiful here. Pure deceleration.

October 12, 2025,Vilstalweg – Blick ins Vilstal Runde von Oberjoch

On Sunday, we headed toward the Tannheimer Valley. At first, the clouds were still very low, which dampened our spirits, but it cleared up so quickly that it turned into a truly beautiful day.

September 10, 2023,Vom Vilstal ins Thannheimer Tal zurück bitte einmal links zum absoluten Höllentrip🤪🤣🤪

The tour was an emergency solution, I wanted to go to the Zugspitze area.

Füssen border tunnel traffic jam in the morning because the traffic lights in front of Reutte only allow 3 cars through.
Turn back to Pfronten.
Through the Vilstal into the Thannheimer Tal to Haldensee👍
Pedestrians like in Munich at Stachus, be careful not to run over …

September 2, 2023,MTB-Tour Allgäu-Pfronten ins Tannheimertal mit Vilsalpsee und Höfer See

The MTB tour from Pfronten into the Tannheimertal with the Vilsalpsee and the Höfer See is for me one of the most beautiful tours in the Allgäu and Tannheimertal. The Vils and the Ache are still untouched in many parts and, with their many windings and small waterfalls, wildly and romantically beautiful. Likewise, the lakes are the jewels of nature. …

Three valleys 🏔🏔🏔, two road closures 🤚🏻🤚🏻 and a national border 🇦🇹 ... All in all a worthwhile tour with a snack 🥨 at the Vilsalpsee 🏖, ice cream🍦& Viehscheid 🐂 and a rapid descent from Tannheim to Pfronten 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

August 28, 2024,Grän - Engetal - Pfronten - Vilstal - Schattwald - Haldensee

Very nice round trip through the Engetal and from Pfronten back through the Vilstal. The climb just before Schattwald was tough for me without the "E" and more than borderline for the inexperienced (older) e-bikers on the descent.
