Ski area Großer Arber

The lift pass "Arber" grants access to 11.5 lovely kilometres of piste, which surrounds the "Großer Arber", one of the highest mountains of this German mid-country mountain range. The ski area is especially suited for families with children. The little ones can get the feel for snow and skis and the "ArBär Kinderland" children's area, where they will find magic carpets, a ski carousel and flat practise area.

Beginners and more experienced skiers can enjoy themselves on mainly easy to intermediate pistes in the ski area. However, pro don't have to miss out. Due to the great reliability for snow on the Arber, World Cup races have taken place here throughout the past three decades. The 1 km long race track is challenge for everyone and covers a difference in altitude of over 340 metres.

Whilst you can enjoy the wonderful panorama of the Bohemian Forest during the day, you can even continue skiing after dark on the floodlight pistes. Snowboarders can practise their moves in the funpark on elements such as boxes, rails, kickers and waverides.

It is not a fully-equipped park, but offers a diverse selection of elements for the whole family, including fun waves and small jumps for beginners and adventurous children. The visually separated area offers mainly a beginner line with soft mounds, small boxes and easy rails. Further, there is also children's area which belongs to the "ArBär Kinderland".
