Vogel has become the most famous skiing centre in the area, with eight cable railways allowing skiers and hikers the freedom of coming up and down the mountain as they please. A wide choice of guesthouses have sprung up like mushrooms on and around the mountain’s foot, but be sure to book well in advance if you plan to stop by for the skiing season. On the mountain’s peak you will find a range of alpine restaurants, cafés and even a place to prepare your own picnic which allows you to take a moment and soak up the incredible panorama. If you plan to set off walking into the wilderness, it is advised to prepare yourselves beforehand with equipment, maps and trail routes as not all walking tracks are visibly marked.
