The Ski Resort
At mount Schloßberg in Albstadt-Tailfingen in the Swabian Alb, winter sports enthusiasts have a 500-metre-long T-bar lift at their disposal. This provides access to the easy family run as well as the medium-difficulty alpine run. The ski area also has the first certified FIS race course in the Swabian Alb. The slopes are perfectly groomed with a powerful snow groomer.
Snowboarders and freestylers can practice new moves and tricks in the "Schneestern" snow park.

Snow Safety & Snowmaking
Nightskiing
Both slopes and the snowpark are completely illuminated in the evening by 43 floodlights (the most extensive piste floodlight system in the region)
Activities
Only a few minutes' walk from the ski lift is the popular Leimenfelsen viewpoint, which can be reached in five minutes from the top station via the hiking trail leading to the Bikepark start tower.
Sledging is prohibited on the slopes for safety reasons. Alternatively, we recommend the toboggan run at the Albstadt-Tailfingen natural outdoor pool, Freibadstraße.
