- Combine your visit with a skate on the Eisplatz or a shopping stroll through the village centre, and finish with punch at s'Älple on Kirchplatz.
- If you stay overnight, use the Allgäu-Walser-Pass for free bus and train travel and ride the hourly Ortsbus line 94 instead of parking.
- If you drive to the Oberstaufen PARK, use the Lindauer Straße car park, and remember that all town car parks charge during the daytime.
- Dress warmly, because the light trail, the ice rink and the market squares are all outdoors and the event comes alive after dark.
