Our ski areas

At Rossfeld Ski Area, you’ll experience one of the region’s most snow-reliable natural snow ski areas. A six-kilometer descent down to Oberau, varied slopes, and ideal conditions for skiing, snowboarding, soaking up the sun, night skiing, and that well-earned stop at a mountain hut make every ski day feel different. Together with the neighboring Zinken ski area just across the Austrian border, you can enjoy cross-border skiing with something for every style.

Just above Berchtesgaden, Obersalzberg offers a budget-friendly ski area that’s perfect for families. Modern snowmaking and great food at the panoramic restaurant set the scene for relaxed ski days with kids.

At Hochschwarzeck in Ramsau—an official mountaineering village—you’ll find gentle, perfectly groomed slopes that are ideal for families and beginners. This sunny area also offers a toboggan run and several cozy places to stop for a bite to eat.

And at Götschen in Bischofswiesen, floodlights keep the slopes open after dark—so you can keep carving your turns well into the evening.
