Sudelfeld, Spitzingsee-Tegernsee, Hocheck, Brauneck, and Wendelstein
If you are travelling with small children, then skiing regions Sudelfeld and Brauneck are the perfect choice for you as easier and wider slopes make learning to ski an adventure filled with joy and fun. Feeling adventurous? Why not try something else for your skiing holidays? Snowboarders and freestylers rave about the snow park in Spitzingsee, where Kicker, rails, boxes and tonnes await the adventurous. If you are lucky, you may even meet Konstantin Schad, World Champion 2013, Rider of the Year 2012 and German champion 2015 who is a regular visitor to his old hounds.
Not much of a snowboarder? Spitzingsee-Tegernsee and Hocheck invite you to experience the magic of wedeling through an enchanted, snow-covered countryside. Yet if wedeling at night is not your thing, then tobogganing may be. Experience 6.5 kilometres of excitement and alpine bliss on one of Germany’s longest natural toboggan tracks at Wallberg/Tegernsee. Or go on Hocheck’s three-kilometre flood-lit toboggan track and speed down the Bavarian countryside.
Are you more of a traditionalist? Then the skiing region Brauneck in Lenggries, home of German ski champions Hilde Gerg and Martina Ertl-Renz, will be perfect for you. A varied choice of blue, red and black slopes is ideal for the skiing expert as well as the beginner. If you should get hungry from speeding down Brauneck’s slopes, do not despair. You can revive body and spirit in one of the numerous cosy rustic Bavarian Alpine cabins along the slopes. Here you will be spoilt with delicious typical Bavarian food and beverages, or you may simply enjoy lying lazily outside in one of the cabins’ deck chairs while the crisp winter sun shines on you.
