Ski area Berchtesgaden region

The "Berchtesgaden region" offers its guests five ski areas, which are united in the lift pass of the same name. With around 40 kilometres of piste between 795 and 1,554 metres above sea level and 24 lifts, the best skiing fun is guaranteed. The ski areas include the Rossfeld ski area in Oberau, the Hochschwarzeck ski area in Ramsau, the Gutshof ski area in Obersalzberg, the Zinken ski area in Bad Dürrnberg and the Götschen ski area in Bischofswiesen.

The cosy pistes on the Hochschwarzeck are ideal for families and floodlit fans can enjoy themselves on Wednesdays until late in the evening on the Rossfeld. The 6 km long descent to the valley to Oberau is perfect for beginners at an easy level.

The boarder scene meets at Götschen, where the snowpark is located. The ski areas around Königssee enjoy an international reputation as a venue for world championships in snowboarding, tobogganing and bobsleighing thanks to their World Cup-capable descent.

The Zinken ski area even offers you the chance to ski the pistes in neighbouring Austria. With the guest card available on site, you can use almost all public buses free of charge, which of course also run to the valley stations and thus serve as a ski bus replacement.

From the 24/25 season, there are no longer any groomed pistes available on the Jenner. However, the ride on the modernised Jennerbahn is still included in the lift pass. You can also 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 reservoir pond.
