Getting There and Around
Located in Southwestern Bavaria at the foothills of the Alps, bordering Austria and Switzerland, the Allgäu is highly accessible yet wonderfully wild. Munich Airport (MUC) sits just a 2-hour drive or direct train ride away from the peaks, while Zurich Airport (ZRH) offers a scenic 2.5-hour journey across the border. For the fastest route, fly directly into Memmingen (FMM)—the Allgäu Airport. Once you are here, a network of regional trains glides through the entire Allgäu, linking mountain towns with alpine valleys. The best part? Traveling sustainably costs you nothing. When checking into your accommodation, you will receive a local guest card—with most of these cards, regional trains and buses are completely free for the duration of your stay.
What We Stand For
The Allgäu is dedicated to sustainable tourism by actively promoting regional products and supporting local business owners. To protect the natural beauty around us, we treat the alpine landscape, the local communities, and the wildlife with deep respect—encouraging slow travel and eco-friendly mobility across the region.
