Ein paar der schönsten Abfahrten rund um den Feldberg.
The Belchen is a beautiful skiing area in winter. Alpinists flock here and enjoy the rapid descent.
But ski touring is often also about seeking solitude. Don't worry, that's also possible on the Belchen!
The summit is one of the most beautiful in the world.
The summit is one of the four highest in the Black Forest and offers a beautiful panorama that impresses every time anew, no matter how many times you have seen it.
Kleine Tour von der Talstation auf den Gipfel
On the Glaswaldsee ski tour, you will sometimes share the ascent track with snowshoe hikers, but then have the edge on the descent.
The long-distance ski trail from Rinken to Wiedener Eck takes you right across the Black Forest and requires several ascents and descents. Beautiful ski descents reward you again and again for the ascents.
Side trip to the Vosges
On the border with the Black Forest lie the Vosges, a dreamlike region even in winter.
For extended tours, head into the neighbouring French country as far as the Ballon d’Alsace. There, the eastern flank is particularly attractive for experienced ski tourers.
Avalanche danger
In winter, there is also a danger of avalanches in the Black Forest. Particular caution is advised on the Feldberg and the Herzogenhorn.
Before every ski tour, find out about the current avalanche situation. Make sure that you are able to bear the risk and assess realistically whether you know your way around well enough.
Bring the right equipment.
Bring the right equipment with you (avalanche transceiver, avalanche probe, avalanche shovel) and make sure you know how to use it in an emergency.
For beginners as well as for professionals, an avalanche course is recommended as a refresher course, where you will be taught useful knowledge.
The official data of the avalanche warning services - updated daily.
At the end of a successful ski tour
As soon as winter arrives in the Black Forest and the first snow falls, the romantic Christmas and Advent markets open their doors.
Gingerbread, Krautschupfnudeln, Brägele (roast potatoes) and mulled wine ensure culinary well-being, while Christmas music and twinkling lights already bring the anticipation of the Christmas holidays.
The Christmas market in Freiburg, the Calw Christmas market and the Heitersheim Christmas market in the Malteserschloss are particularly attractive.
