Winter Wonderland

During the cold season, the Hotel Landhaus Sonnenstern offers its guests activities in the snow, such as snowshoeing and skiing.

Skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowboarding are only some of the sports that you can practice in this area during the winter. We love skiing and you will love the marvelous winter sports conditions.

But that’s not all. Sled and bobsled racing, Bavarian curling, and ice skating are also part of the winter fun in Berchtesgaden.

The Berchtesgaden Alpes are home to Kathy Hölzl, world champion in giant slalom. The huge skiing area, the “Jenner” is located only about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) away from the Landhaus Sonnenstern. The high altitude and the large amounts of snowfall make sure that you can go skiing on most winter days.

The skiing area “Gütschen” is especially attractive for snowboarders. There is a halfpipe and a large fun park – and Gütschen was even the venue of the Snowboard World Championships once.

Not far from the house, you can get to the ski tracks of the Königssee area (skating and classic). A special experience that we recommend is the illuminated night track past the cross-country skiing center “Langlaufzentrum Aschauerweiher”, and along the Königssee.

You can also take skiing lessons all around the area.
