Winter sports
When the ground freezes outside, then the winter season begins with us. Whether you enjoy a spot of curling on a frozen pond or prefer to tie on a pair of snow boots or even simply get out your cross-country skis ... winter sports are possible on our doorstep here. And if you don't mind driving a short distance in the car after finishing work, you can reach the floodlit pistes of the Bavarian Forest within an hour. And even better, at the weekend go for an exhilarating downhill run on Arber, Pröller etc. ...
Arber
With the new regional training centre course on the ARBER, the Hohenzollern ski stadium at Lake Arber and the Bayerwaldschanze ski jump in Bayerisch Eisenstein, optimum training and competition facilities exist in the three disciplines of alpine skiing, Nordic skiing and ski jumping. The World Cup course on the ARBER has been equipped with a state-of-the-art snowmaking facility from TechnoAlpin.
The famous Olympic champion and piste designer for the FIS – the Swiss Bernhard Russi – awarded the "ARBER" the rating "very challenging". The new very steep regional training centre slope can only be prepared with Kässbohrer winch-equipped PistenBullys and is approved by the FIS for ladies' and men's World Cup races in the "slalom and giant slalom" disciplines.
Pröller Ski Triangle
Experience family-friendly downhill runs and well-tended pistes for skiers and also alpine skiers who want to compete in races. Snowboarders, cross-country skiers and sledgers also get their full money's worth at the Pröller Ski Triangle. 6 km of downhill runs offer skiing pleasure for anybody. State-of-the-art snowmaking facilities guarantee a high level of safety on the snow. The Pröller Ski Triangle is the floodlit paradise in the Bavarian Forest. With 2.7 kilometres of illuminated pistes, the Pröller Ski Triangle is the place where young and old congregate to enjoy floodlit skiing. A 200 m long, rolled sledging run at the valley station in Klinglbach guarantees sledging fun for young and old. The winter vibe in the ski region invites you to enjoy a spot of après-ski and exhilarates the mind. Cabin entertainment is offered by our huts and guesthouses which are all located alongside the pistes in the Pröller ski region and invite you to enjoy tea with a drop of schnapps in it on the sun terraces.
