When snow falls on the rooftops and lights illuminate the old town, Füssen reveals its most romantic side
In winter, Füssen transforms into a peaceful, atmospheric backdrop for relaxing days and active hours in the snow. Surrounded by the Alps, lakes, and castles, you’ll experience a region that offers much to explore even in the cold season – whether it’s cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, or enjoying a hot mulled wine in the old town.
Winter in Füssen is truly special
Cross-Country Skiing, Winter Hiking & Snow Fun
Around Füssen, you'll find a well-maintained network of cross-country ski trails – ideal for classic technique and skating. From the town, beautiful winter hiking paths lead through the snow-covered landscape, such as along the Lech River, by Alatsee, or around Weißensee.
For those who prefer a more active experience, the Tegelberg Ski Resort near Schwangau and the Breitenberg in Pfronten are two attractive ski areas nearby. The nearby slopes in Austria, such as in the Tannheimer Tal, are also easily accessible.
Ice Skating & Curling
When the temperatures drop low enough, the lakes turn into ice arenas. A favorite spot is the frozen Schwansee, where you can enjoy ice skating or curling at sunset. It's a true natural experience – peaceful, clear, and full of winter magic.
Winter Atmosphere in the Town
Füssen's old town is beautifully decorated for the holidays – with strings of lights, evergreen garlands, and a warm glow. Whether taking a stroll through the alleys, visiting the town fountain with mulled wine stalls, or exploring the Füssen Christmas market: You'll feel the special atmosphere of the cold season here.
Even the sights like the High Castle, St. Mang Monastery, and Neuschwanstein Castle appear even more impressive in the snow – almost like something out of a winter fairytale.
Wellness & Relaxation After a Day in the Snow
After an active winter day, it's time to relax. At the Best Western Plus Hotel Füssen, you'll find a warm retreat with a sauna, comfortable rooms, and a cozy restaurant. Enjoy a hot tea, a fine glass of wine, or simply the view of the snow-covered rooftops of the town.
