The mountain station serves as a major launch point for paragliders due to the favorable thermal conditions over the Ostrachtal.
The surrounding landscape is part of the protected Nagelfluhkette Nature Park, unique for its conglomerate rock formations.
During the summer, the mountain station provides specialized bike transport racks for downhill cyclists accessing the designated trails.
The Imberger Horn summit, reachable from the station, is a fossil-rich geological site known for its marine sediment deposits.
The facility is integrated into the 'Bad Hindelang PLUS' card system, which often provides inclusive access for regional tourists.
The Bergstation Hornbahn Hindelang serves as the primary access point to the Imberger Horn mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps. Situated at an altitude of 1,320 meters, it acts as a hub for year-round alpine activities including downhill mountain biking and winter skiing. The station is connected to the valley via an eight-seater gondola lift system that overcomes a significant elevation gain. From this elevation, visitors gain direct access to the 'Horn-Erlebnisweg,' a themed hiking trail designed for educational alpine exploration. The facility serves as the starting point for multiple high-altitude hiking trails leading toward the Wertacher Hörnle and other peaks. In winter, the surrounding terrain transitions into a family-oriented ski area with dedicated slopes and snowmaking infrastructure. The station provides infrastructure for paragliding take-offs, utilizing the specific wind conditions of the Ostrachtal valley. It offers panoramic views of the surrounding Allgäu Hochalpen nature reserve.
