Glistening snow crunches under your skis, the white sugared trees glisten against the blue sky in the bright sunshine. Swing by swing, the cross-country skiers push their way through the incomparable winter landscape on the Bretterschachten. The king of the Bavarian Forest, the 1456-metre-high Großer Arber, stands guard in the background.

A new panoramic view of the Bavarian Forest opens up around almost every bend. The Bretterschachten cross-country skiing center above Bodenmais is one of the most important in the whole of Central Europe. The favorable altitude between 1100 and 1300 meters guarantees a safe natural snow cover in times when more and more ski regions are struggling with a lack of snow.

Classic & Skating
The Bretterschachten offers a total of 114 kilometers of trails - skating and classic parallel. From the short beginners' circuit around the stadium to the challenging 18-kilometre circuit along the flanks of the Großer Arber, there is something for every taste and ability.
Cross-country skiing on Bavaria's longest high-altitude trail is a special experience.
The 30-kilometre Auerhahn trail from the Bretterschachten cross-country skiing center to the Eck runs below the Großer Arber, with constant gentle ups and downs and the opportunity to stop for refreshments halfway along the trail at the Schareben mountain hut deep in the forest.
