Nordwandsteig Nebelhorn summit station

Description

The Nordwandsteig promises breathtaking views around the summit of the Nebelhorn mountain peak.

The ride with the Nebelhornbahn to the summit at 2,224m is already an experience. This is even increased with the Nordwandsteig. Directly from the exit of the summit cable car, we walk across the terrace and past the restaurant through a tunnel directly onto the Nordwandsteig. Here we find an accessible circular path consisting of an impressive steel construction. This is attached to the north face of the Nebelhorn. Here we can walk around the entire summit area. The accessible path is about 100 meters long and, in addition to an impressive view of the entire Allgäu region, it also opens up a completely new perspective: 600 meters deep, the view goes down along the north face of the Nebelhorn.
