The valley is entered at Walserschanz (no customs post), only a few kilometres southwest of Oberstdorf. For mountain walkers the Kleinwalsertal provides plenty of carefully waymarked trails and magnificent scenery. A bus (Walserbus) runs daily (May–October, every 30min) from Oberstdorf railway station to Baad at the end of the valley.

Oberstdorf can be reached by train from Munich and is popular as a tourist resort in both summer and winter. Although not unattractive, this modern-looking town lacks the rural charm of some of the smaller settlements in this region (in 1865 a devastating fire destroyed most of the older buildings). It is well served with a good range of accommodation (campsite, youth hostel and hotels in all price categories) and offers all the usual tourist facilities.
