Ski touring in the Berchtesgaden Alps - Winter holiday at Lake Königssee
One of the most beautiful areas for ski touring in the Alps can be found in Berchtesgaden National Park. Here, both experienced and beginners will find tours for a successful ski touring holiday in the Alps.
The most beautiful ski tours in Berchtesgadener Land
Is ski touring your passion? Then a winter holiday at the Explorer Hotel Berchtesgaden in Schönau is perfect for you. Numerous tours of varying difficulty levels await you in the national park. While you fortify yourself with breakfast, daylight increases, and you can enjoy the view of the mountains before you get up and start your ski tour.
Berchtesgaden enjoys a strong reputation among ski touring enthusiasts, and this is primarily due to its classic tours:
The classics
The Little Reibn: This moderately difficult tour has a varied profile and leads from the middle station of the Jennerbahn cable car over the Schneibstein (2,268 m), the Hohen Roßfelder, and the Priesbergalm to the Königssee.
The Big Reibn is the most famous ski tour in Berchtesgaden. It is 50 km long and has an elevation gain of 4,500 meters. It leads around the Königssee, and you should plan an overnight stay along the route.
Ski tour on the Hoher Göll: This tour, which can be done until spring, is challenging and the scenery is breathtaking.
There are also several classic ski tours around the legendary Watzmann, such as the Watzmann Gugl (intermediate), Watzmann Hocheck (difficult), Watzmannkar, and *3. Kind (difficult).
Ski tours Berchtesgaden
If you're not yet an experienced ski tourer, or just want to get started, you'll find some great tours in the Berchtesgadener Land.
For your first attempts and to get back into the swing of things, you'll find tours with downhill runs at Hochschwarzeck, Götschen, or Rossfeld. The advantage here is that you can avoid skiing in open terrain.
