In Lenggries alone, at Berg Brauneck, a staggering 18 ski lifts and 34 kilometers of well-prepared downhill pistes await winter tourists who can also delight in the magic Isarwinkel network of cross-country skiing tracks and scenic routes for winter wanderers.

Even if the peaks don’t hit the 2,000-meter mark, ski enthusiasts can still have a great time.

Regulars will sing the joys of little known Bavarian winter wonderlands such as the Tegernsee valley, off the beaten tourist track, which prides itself in one of Germany’s longest natural toboggan runs - 6.5 kilometers of them.

Bayrischzell boasts Germany's largest skiing region: the Sudelfeld offers the whole range of downhill challenges, from easy to tough, and people can unwind afterwards in a picturesque, cozy alpine tavern. Another major attraction is the 95-meter-high Tatzelwurm waterfall in the Mangfall mountains.
