MORE THAN JUST AN ORDINARY LIFT:

SKIING, APRÈS-SKI, FUNPARK, FLOODLIGHTS & MORE

Since its opening in 1959, the Kessler lift has provided skiing fun year after year without exception. Numerous beginners have learnt to ski here. The freestyle and boarder scene meets here at the Crystal Ground Funpark. And in the afternoons, it's not just skis that are turned, but also good drinks and dancing at the umbrella bar. 

Tip: The Kessler Lift is part of the IG Skipass Oberstdorf-Kleinwalsertal - an association of all ski lifts and cable cars in the region. Day tickets, multi-day tickets and season tickets for the ski region are valid here. You can also buy them in our shop or book them directly online in advance.

The FUNPARK FoR KIDS & PROS

The Crystal Ground Funpark is part of the Crystal Family - 3 fun parks in the two-country ski resort of Oberstdorf-Kleinwalsertal. Located directly at the Kessler lift, the Crystal Ground is the meeting point for freestylers and boarders. 

Since its foundation in 2005, the snow park has made a name for itself among freestyle fans far beyond the Alpine region. The advantages of the Crystal Ground are obvious: the proximity to the village centre, its own floodlight system, the sunny park base with deckchairs and music and, last but not least, a monthly changing setup make this snowpark so popular with riders.

Facts & figures about the Crystal Ground:

  • Right in the centre, easily accessible
  • Offers for beginners, kids and advanced skiers
  • Snow-covered park, in operation from mid-December
  • floodlights in the park every Wednesday in the winter season (mid-December to mid-March): until 9.00 pm
