The skiing scene in Lenggries is dominated by the area's most prominent mountain - Brauneck.
Brauneck is sure of having snow and slopes to ski on from December till after Easter, thanks to its altitude (peak 1700 metres, valley 700 metres) and to state-of-the-art snow making machines. Brauneck is a popular spot, attracting many skiers from Munich and throughout the region, experts and beginners alike and especially families, for Brauneck offers children and learner slopes as well as a world cup slope.
Brauneck has 90 brandnew gondola with a capacity of 650 persons per hour, three chair lifts (see picture) and no fewer than 16 drag lifts providing access to the various slopes, which can be as long as six kilometres or descend more than 800 metres.
The most challenging slope is called the Garlandhang (picture), which is very steep indeed, but leads conveniently straight back to the new lift station. One slope, the Streidlhang, is lighted at night and skiers can thread their way down the hillside to music.
There are three ski schools in Lenggries, which offer courses on snowboarding and carving, as well.
Scattered across the mountain itself you will find eight different alpine huts (Berggasthäuser) offering food and drink, sunny terraces, aprés-ski, and cozy, old-fashioned Bavarian hospitality.
Brauneck is a true Mecca of winter sports, all beneath white and blue holiday skies. | | |
