our Location
The original base of adventurelifelinks was the Allgäu which is discribed here in detail as we still offer courses in this stunning area of the Alps. Situated at the furthermost corner of South West Germany the Allgäu shares the countries’ border with the Austrian Tirol. The main towns are Sonthofen (Alpine town of the year in 2005), Immenstadt (rail hub for the area), and winter Olympic town of Obersdorf, famous for ski jumping and Nordic skiing. |
