skiing Schönau - idyll at Königssee!

In the Berchtesgaden National Park, before the impressive Watzmann Massif (2,713 m) panorama, lies the romantic Berchtesgadener Land. Surrounded by a 2,000 m - 2,700 m mountain chain, the Upper Bavarian region offers peace and idyll. A total of five ski areas serve all winter sports fans' tastes: Jenner is very well suited to experts, Hochschwarzeck entices families with children in particular and Götschen is ideal for snowboarders. Berchtesgadener Land has an international reputation, due to its world-cup runs and its position as host to world championships in the luge, bobsledding and snowboarding. Schönau - idyll at Königssee!

Schönau (600 m) is located at the edge of the Berchtesgaden National Park, the most south-eastern community in Germany. The peaks of the Hohe Göll, the Hagen Mountains and Steinernen Meerauf form a stony border to the east and south – the common border with neighbouring Salzburger Land. The excellent location, directly on the idyllic Königssee, offers you the opportunity to take both daytime and moonlit boat tours. Additionally, you can only reach the St. Bartholomew pilgrimage church, which is situated in the heart of the Berchtesgaden nature preserve, by boat. Only a few kilometres away is the Jenner ski area, and Schönau, located near Berchtesgaden, is an ideal destination for a great winter holiday. Whether beginner or expert, everyone will find just the right piste!
