Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 110 reviews
Die Heini-Klopfer-Skiflugschanze liegt südlich von Oberstdorf im Stillachtal, in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Freibergsee. Mit einer Hillsize von 235 Metern gehört sie zu den größten Skiflugschanzen der Welt und ist nach einer Modernisierung 2017 wieder regelmäßiger Austragungsort von Skiflugweltcups. Im Januar 2018 fanden auf ihr die Skiflugweltmeisterschaften statt. Den Schanzenrekord hält Norweger Daniel-André Tande mit 238,5 Metern. Da die Anlage nur im Rahmen von Wettkämpfen präpariert wird und auf ihr kein Trainingsbetrieb stattfindet, gilt sie mit ihren zahlreichen Besucherhighlights ganzjährig als eines der beliebtesten Ausflugsziele im Oberallgäu. Im Schanzenturm befindet sich neben Wärme- und Wachsräumen auch ein Kioskbetrieb sowie ein Schrägaufzug für bis zu elf Personen mit Sprungskiern. Außerhalb der Wettkampftage bringt der Lift Besucher auf eine 365°Aussichtsplattform mit atemberaubendem Blick über den Freibergsee und die umliegenden Berggipfel.

Having travelled by bus from Oberstdorf where we were staying, we caught the bus at the main bus terminal 9€ return. The visitors Oberstdorfer card has no discount on the bus. The journey must have been 1/2 an hour travelling through some wonderful scenery. Arriving at the Gondel station, we found prices for adults are 25€ return or up and down. But if you have the Card which is given to visitors who stay overnight in hotels, then the lift is FREE. Arriving up on top at 1,946m. you have the opertunity to walk up to the Cross at the summit, Walmendingerhorn at 1,199mt. There is a cafe and Souvenier shop with a sun bathing area with deckchairs. From here you can go wandering in the mountains, but becarefull mountains are dangerous when wet. When you look North from the cross you are looking at German mountain, to the right Austrian and to the left Swiss mountains, you can see the 3 countries from one paroramic view. I was interested in the wild mountain flowers where their are 100 varieties. In June there is the red mountain rose, but as it was late August, most flowers had died leaving some wonderfull seed pods with a few flowers as well. Catching the bus back to Oberstdorf, we stopped off the bus at Hirschegg, a Hirsch is a large deer, did you know they laid eggs. I didnt either. We then went to a cafe by the church before returning to our Hotel. You can stop at any bus stops and then get back on another bus if you see something interesting.

Though it was only one day (this time around!) due to inclement weather conditions: we enjoyed the ski course immensely! Martin is definitely a world-class ski instructor: he has an incredible ability to connect with different people, inspiring and leading them to make progress - and have a LOAD of fun at the same time! I was particularly impressed with his ability to provide individual, high-quality feedback to each person in the group (many top 'managers' out there should book a course with him to learn a thing or two ;-)! - and that over the entire course of the day. He is a gem of an instructor and individual (!!!), and we can only hope to join another one of his courses! Otherwise: The online bookings ran smoothly - and everything was ready for us the day before, making it convenient. However, I was quite turned off by the negativity and rudeness of one of the ladies at the desk - in my opinion, no way to deal with customers (!!). That can be a real turn-off! Come on, guys, you can do better than that! Thanks to Martin and the other kind and helpful staff, we will be back!! ;-))
