Winter-sports enjoyment at the "top" of the Black Forest.

 


 7 ski-areas, 31 lifts and 55 kilometres of ski-slopes

The highest mountain in Baden-Württemberg rises to 1.493m above sea-level. The Feldberg is not only the cradle of German skiing, it also occupies the first place in Black Forest ski-sports with its international competitions and as the coaching centre of the German Ski Association.

The Feldberg is well-known as an excellent ski-area. A closely linked network of ski-lifts (31 lifts in the Feldberg Lift Association), which can all be used with just one ticket, offer the winter-sports lover an extraordinary variety of descents. The lifts are in use for 100 days a year on average, proof that a sufficient amount of snow can be guaranteed. In addition the artificial snow-making facilities ensure an adequate covering of snow. In all 6 km of slopes can be covered with artificial snow. The following lift operators are members of the Feldberg Ski Lift Association: the Feldberg Winter-Sports Centre, Altglashütten, Belchen, Muggenbrunn, Menschenschwand, Notschrei Lifts and Todtnauberg. Lovers of cross-country skiing can choose from a closely linked network of a total of 60 km with all levels of difficulty.

The Feldberg Snowpark! The Funpark is situated at Seebuck with a total length of just under 900m. It is equipped with materials for snow such as kickers, scooters and hips as well as a first class selection of rails and boxes, which means that the complex is attractive for families and beginners, although advanced riders and professionals will also obtain their money's worth.

Away from the ski-slopes and tracks the winter landscape can also be discovered by means winter paths which have been cleared for well signposted snow-shoe trails. Just soak up the sun and enjoy the calm away from the hurly burly of life. So don't wait any longer: just come and ski!
