The small ski area Oberfrauenwald in Waldkirchen in the Bavarian Forest has a total of two kilometres of slopes. The slopes are exclusively marked red and are suitable for beginners and slightly advanced skiers.

Winter sports enthusiasts have a 1,400 m long T-bar lift at their disposal in the ski area. For small skiers there is also a children's lift near Geiersberg with a length of 250 metres and a baby lift at the valley station with a length of 60 metres. Here, the little ones can discover the fun of winter sports undisturbed and master their first turns before heading out onto larger slopes. The children's lift and the baby lift are operated privately and cannot be used with the ski pass for the Oberfrauenwald ski lift.

The mountain station is located at an altitude of 948 meters. There is also a 27-metre-high observation tower from which you have a unique panoramic view of the region.

For snowboarders and freestylers there is a fun park in Waldkirchen on the upper steep slope. The park is about 400 metres long and has two routes with a steep downhill run and a route with a ski jump and three to five metre deep ditches.
