Tegernsee

The Tegernsee Valley is your ideal snow holiday destination. With inexpensive flights into Munich and a whole network of easy-to-reach towns nestling between mountains and lake, you will not get an equally laid-back yet diverse holiday experience anywhere else.
If you are thinking about taking up skiing or snowboarding, you will find a whole range of ski schools and attractive beginner’s slopes to get through your first few tumbles. And at the end of any glorious winter day in the valley, a log fire and mulled wine will cheer your spirits.
A further highlight of Tegernsee Valley is going Tobogganing, a fabulous form of winter entertainment that never went out of fashion.

Discover Germany’s longest natural tobogganing run: this 6.5 km ride down the slopes of Mount Wallberg is simply an experience you cannot miss, be it with family or friends or just on your own. Right next to Mount Wallberg, another thrilling run can be found down from lovely Mount Hirschberg. A very enjoyable hike from Tegernsee town up to the popular Neureuth mountain inn will set you off on a 2 km run amongst snowy forests. A total of 8 natural tobogganing runs are scattered around Lake Tegernsee, and sledges are for rent in most of the towns.
The most spectacular adventure in this beautiful ski resort is taking a flight in a hot air balloon or tries paragliding to get a bird’s eye view of the valley. Horse lovers will enjoy a spin through the wintry valley in a horse-drawn sleigh of carriage. Two different stables cater for dressage lessons and cross-country rides, which can be arranged individually or for groups
