Oberstdorf · Figure skating

Seven minutes to the ice.

The ice centre is a short walk away. No car, no parking scramble before early ice time. Three holiday apartments under one roof — for skaters, coaches and families.

Why here

Ice the world comes for

01

The venue

Eissportzentrum Oberstdorf has three ice surfaces, is a national training base and holds the ISU Center of Excellence label. Skaters from around the world have trained here for some 70 years. Belgium, Japan, Korea — we have hosted them.

02

The competitions

The Nebelhorn Trophy has opened the season every September since 1969; the German Championships follow in December. Dates and tickets sit with the Eissportzentrum — we link, we do not promise.

In the house

Short walk, quiet days

01

On foot to the ice

Seven minutes to the rink. Early ice time means you walk — no car, no parking, no detour before training.

02

Space and a kitchen

A kitchen to cook for yourself, room for equipment, quiet enough to recover in the evening.

The apartments

All three work

01

By party size

On your own → Hannes. Two or three → Catarina. Up to four → Stillach. Ute sorts out which one is free with you.

02

What is included

The visitor's tax is charged on top, €4.70 per adult per night. The mountain-lift pass is included in summer only (May to November), not in winter. See the apartments →

Competition weeks

When the Trophy calls

01

Arriving for the Trophy

The Nebelhorn Trophy opens the season in September. The German Championships follow in December. Skaters, coaches and families stay seven minutes from the rink.

These weeks book out early — in the village and here. Write in good time.

02

A base for the family

Parents, siblings, grandparents: all under one roof, no second lodging needed.

Walk back to the house between sessions — rest, eat, head out again. That works here because the way is short.

Training camps

Weeks, not days

01

For longer stays

A camp rarely lasts two nights. There is room for weeks — a full kitchen for self-catering, a washing machine in Catarina.

Terms for longer stays are arranged directly with Ute.

02

Gear in the ski cellar

Skates, blade guards, wet clothing — all of it dries in the ski cellar, not in the apartment.

Quiet enough in the evening to recover. That matters after hard sessions on the ice.

A day from here

Early ice, short walk

01

Before breakfast

Early ice means an early start. Seven minutes on foot, no car, no dark car park.

Back to the house after the session — nobody makes breakfast at the stadium.

02

While the skaters train

Those who come along but stay off the ice have the village at the door. The thermal spa is eight minutes away, the centre seven.

What there is to do around here is on the activities page — summer and winter.

Frequently asked questions

What parents and coaches ask

How far is the ice centre on foot?

Seven minutes on foot. The Eissportzentrum sits on the eastern edge of the village, right by the Nebelhorn lift — no car needed, not even for early ice.

Can I skate as a guest during public sessions?

Yes. The ice centre runs public skating several times a day, usually from 9:30 to 16:30 — with a spring break from mid-March to mid-May. Rental skates are available on site in sizes 24 to 48.

Current session times and reservations are with the ice centre. We link, we promise nothing.

Is the house suitable for a training camp?

Yes. There is room for longer stays — a full kitchen for self-catering, a washing machine in Catarina, a ski cellar for drying gear. Terms for weeks are arranged directly with Ute.

Where does the gear dry?

In the ski cellar. Skates, guards and wet clothing stay downstairs — not in the apartment.

Which apartment suits us?

Hannes for one. Catarina for two or three. Stillach for up to four. Ute will tell you which one is free.

Is anything free during the Nebelhorn Trophy?

Those weeks book out early. For the Trophy in September or the German Championships in December, ask well ahead.
