The Ski Resort
On the outskirts of Höchenschwand in the southern Hochschwarzwald there is a rope lift which is ideal for beginners and children. The approximately 300 metre long practice area has a low gradient and thus offers the best conditions for getting started in skiing. The ski area lies at an altitude between 970 and 995 metres and is open from mid-December to mid-March, depending on snow conditions.
