Active in Winter in the Ammergau Alps Nature Park

The Ammergau Alps Nature Park in the Zugspitz region is predestined for winter hiking, as the valley paths with their view of the surrounding mountains in the Bavarian Alpine foothills provide a perfect backdrop. In the home of the famous King Ludwig Run, cross-country ski trails extend across the entire Ammer Valley when there is good snow. Those who like tobogganing, ice skating, walking through the winter landscape on snowshoes or touring skis will also find a wide range of options in the Ammergau Alps Nature Park. Skiers get their money's worth on the Kolben, the Steckenberg or the Hörnle. When there is a lot of snow, the Laber is a great freeride area.

And if there is no snow: No problem - you won't get bored in the nature park. We have specially for you great activities for an exciting holiday in the Bavarian Alps!

Tobogganing fun for young and old

In the Ammergau Alps Nature Park there are countless hills and slopes that are perfect for little tobogganing fun. You can go higher on the Hörnle or on the Kolbensattel. The toboggan run on the Hörnle is over 4 km long and is great fun for all ages. The snow-covered toboggan run on the Kolbensattel offers you pure tobogganing fun.
