Although not technically a ski resort, since the slopes are located several kilometres away, Berchtesgaden is nevertheless a welcoming, authentic town with plenty to do.
There are six ski areas within reach of Berchtesgadener, which together offer more than 60km of slopes. Most of the ski areas are best-suited to beginners, although the Jenner ski area has some challenging red slopes for intermediate and advanced skiers. Easiest to reach from the town of Berchtesgaden is the Obersalzberg ski area, which has a dedicated children's area for the smallest skiers.

Regional highlight: The Watzmann (2713m)
The Watzmann is one of the most famous mountains in Germany, part of a massif that towers over the Berchtesgadener Land ski areas. Expert freeriders sometimes undertake challenging ski tours in the direction of the Watzmannhaus.
