Geising Ski Resort

Just an hour's drive south of Dresden in the middle of the Erzgebirge mountains lies Geising with its ski lifts. In the ski area "An der Wache" a drag lift and a children's lift for the little ones and beginners bring ski enthusiasts to the beginning of the slopes without waiting times. If there is not enough snow for a day on the slopes, the modern snow cannons come into play. With the floodlights on the slopes, ski fans can let off steam until 10 p.m. before heading home or to their hotel. If you feel hungry in between, a small snack with food and drink is available directly at the ski slopes.

The lifts "An der Wache" are only open on weekends, depending on snow conditions. The ski lift Altenberg, which is only four kilometres away, is in operation daily. Information about the daily opening hours can be found on the website of the Ski & Toboggan Arena Altenberg/Geising.

For skating fans there is the ice rink Gründelstadion in Geising. Here you can go ice skating, play ice hockey and try out curling. Sledding is also possible in Geising. There are several tobogganing slopes in the area and a 1,100-metre-long natural toboggan run in Rehefeld. In addition, the cross-country ski runs in the Altenberg region lead past Geising, as does the six-kilometre-long Scharspitze round track.

From Dresden, take the A17 to the Bad Gottleuba exit and turn left onto the S176. Continue on the S174 until you reach Liebenau. After Liebenau turn left onto the K9033 and drive via Löwenhain to Geising. The ski lifts are located on the Alte Straße.
