Activities for all seasons

A wide range of leisure activities can be enjoyed in St. Märgen. The luxury holiday flat lies only 250 m from the Pfisterwald nature discovery park with its numerous recreational and leisure facilities.
In winter, as a result of its location at an altitude of between 850 and 1,100 metres above sea level, St. Märgen offers excellent conditions for winter sports enthusiasts or those simply seeking a relaxing break. A romantic walk through the snowy forest is an experience not to be missed!
