Equally popular is the Tegernsee-Schliersee area, especially Sudelfeld and Spitzingsee are on the larger side and well-known.
Several little ski resorts are suitable for families with younger children. Real experts will appreciate Wendelstein, known for being one of the hotspots for freeriders. Skiing in the Berchtesgardener Land is a blast since well-groomed trails and dreamy panorama views are abundant.
