The Ski Resort
90 percent of the pistes in the Oberammergau ski area are marked in blue and therefore offer ideal conditions for beginners and returners, but also for the whole family. Nine lifts take winter sports enthusiasts up the mountain, providing fun on a total of eight kilometers of slopes. All practice lifts for ski schools and beginners are located in the valley area.
Freeskiers and snowboarders get their money's worth in the Snowpark Oberammergau. Here there are different lines for all levels of ability.
