The Bavarian Forest (Bayerische Wald) is situated in the county of Regen in southern Germany and includes several ski areas for skiers, snowboarders, and cross-country skiers. The main ski resort is in Arber, where the surrounding village Bayerisch Eisenstein houses most tourists. The Geißkopf-bahn in the village of Bischofsmais is also a popular destination. The third place with a nice ski resort is Sankt Englmar (and neighboring village Ruhmannsfelden), home of the ski area Pröller Skidreieck.

The most well-known cross-country destination is near Dreisessel, the Bayerwaldpiste, which runs from Silberbach, past Lam, to Neureichenau and Riedel Bach in the direction of Austria. Bayerwaldpiste boasts some 150 km of cross-country tracks.

Snowboarding Bayerische Wald

The Bavarian Forest is a modest snowboard area. There is really only one place, the Snowboard Fun Park and Rail Park in Arber, that we recommend. Because of the altitude of the Große Arber (1456 meters), the park offers relatively good snow conditions. The park consists of several modules and obstacles and a rail park, a collection of handrail modules. Geißkopf also has a small fun park and a quarterpipe.

Skischools Bayerische Wald

There are several skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing schools in Bischofsmais, Bayerisch Eisenstein, and Sankt Englmar. Bodenmais, Frauenau, Zwiesel, and Ruhmannsfelden also have a ski school.
