Best cross country skiing trails in Bavaria, Germany

This walk on the Hirschberg is the classic among the Munich Hausbergen. In almost every season the Hirschberg is accessible and in winter it offers the special experience of a great toboggan run. Thanks to the Hirschberghaus, which is open almost all year round, you can always recover from your hike here. The view from the Hirschberg is particularly worthwhile, because you have a great view of the Karwendel, over to the Zugspitze, the Ross and Buchstein and the Tegernsee hut.Show more

This tour is known for many Munich as Erstlingsstrecke. The path to the Hirschberg is short, easy and most beautiful when the lift is not yet in operation. If you stick to the alpine rules of the game, the tour is possible even in rather unfavorable conditions. Most beautiful with fresh snow. Ideal also to combine a family ski day with a small tour.Show more

This route starts in the Brauneck ski area. 15m below the top of Brauneck is the hut of the same name, which invites you to take a break with a beautiful view. On the sunny balcony of the Isarwinkel - as the Brauneck is also called - the sun can be superbly enjoyed, while you have a fantastic 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding Karwendel and Wetterstein. Especially on hot days, this hike can be quite exhausting, because you are exposed to the sun as much as possible.Show more
