The Fallbach slope has an 800 metre long piste for skiing. The piste is also an experience at night: during the season, the Fallbach lift also takes visitors up the Fallbach slope for floodlit skiing. In winter, the city bus line runs between the central Kurpark and the Grenzadler. It takes holidaymakers to their destination in the shortest possible time. Whether as a spectator or an active athlete – the bobsleigh run and the luge track also promise real winter sports adventures.
Cross-country skiing paradise & tobogganing fun
Cross-country skiers can look forward to the multitude of groomed trails that await them on their holiday. Snowboarders are also very welcome on the Fallbach slope.

Children love exploring the varied ski area on skis or a snowboard. Pure tobogganing fun awaits at the Alte Golfwiese. It’s not so easy for parents to lure their loved ones back to the hotel from the piste.
