Cool canyoning: jump into an adventure

If you are looking for a real outdoor adventure and an adrenaline kick, canyoning is just the thing. Equipped with modern gear, embark on a unique adventure.

Mountain biking holidays for everyone

Where there are mountains, you can count on mountain bikers being close by. The Kleinwalsertal Valley is a favourite among mountain bikers not only because of the variety of routes, from easy-going forest trails to challenging stretches, but also the many places to stop for a bite to eat. And at the Hotel Erlebach, we know exactly what mountain bikers need: we have everything from a bike room to tools for hire to R&R for tired legs.
