Ski area Region Berchtesgaden

The "Berchtesgaden region" serves its guests with five ski areas, which are united in the lift pass of the same name: Around 40 kilometres of pistes between 795 and 1,554 m above sea level and 22 lifts offer you the best skiing fun.

The cosy pistes on Hochschwarzeck are ideal for families. The 6 km long valley run on Rossfeld (ascent to Rossfeld included once a day) to Oberau is also ideal for beginners thanks to its easy level (only accessible if there is enough snow). The boarder scene and all floodlight fans meet at Götschen, where the snow park is located and where a floodlit piste is available every Friday. In the village you have access to Wi-Fi hotspots in several areas.

Thanks in part to their World Cup-suitable slopes, the ski areas around Königssee enjoy an international reputation as venues for world championships in snowboarding as well as in tobogganing and bobsleighing! And the Zinken ski area even offers you the chance to hit the slopes in neighbouring Austria. With the lift pass you can explore one ski area per day.

From the 24/25 season, there will no longer be any groomed pistes available on the Jenner. However, the ride on the modernised Jennerbahn is still included in the lift pass. You also have the opportunity to use the new approx. 1.4 kilometre long toboggan run from the mountain station, explore the surrounding area on the snowshoe trail to the "Vorderer Pfaffenkegel" or try out the groomed winter hiking trail around the Speicherweiher pond.
