The Ski Resort
When it comes to winter sports, the Buron ski area is well-known and very popular with families with children, newcomers and locals. The longest drag lift in the Allgäu takes you to the middle station over a distance of 1,650m. There you have the choice of 3 blue runs, which lead back to the base station.
From the middle station a 950m long drag lift leads to the top station, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Allgäu and Tyrolean mountain peaks. Here a black run or deep-snow skiing with moguls awaits the specialists and experts. The Buron ski lifts at Lake Grüntensee near Wertach offer an optimal mixture between wide, well-prepared slopes suitable for beginners and steep, sporty descents on the "Blässe".
