Grän, comprising an area of about 20 sqkm, is located in the Tannheimer valley and is considered to be “the most beautiful high mountain valley of Europe”.

Grän and surroundings also offer different nordic-walking routes and various possibilities for walking and cycling.

In winter Lake Haldensee offers ideal conditions for ice skating and curling, on request also floodlit.
