Active winter holidays
Snow falling on the dark fir trees. Forests, pinecones and icicles heavy with snow. White splendour, sparkling in the sunshine. Bright nights with the moon shining down on the snow-covered hills. And a million stars overhead on every clear winter night.
Here in the Black Forest, it’s especially beautiful at Advent, Christmas and New Year. Enjoy the peace and quiet, far away from city life!
Our sport-loving guests appreciate the winter here too. Skiing and snowboarding. Ice skating on the ice rink in Baiersbronn. Cross-country skiing. The good old sledge. And perhaps you might want to give winter hiking a go, with or without snowshoes!

Cross-country skiing
Just like hiking in summer, cross-country skiing is very easy if you are staying here: right next to the hotel, you will find the starting point to join a network of perfectly maintained and well-prepared skating and cross-country trails. A total of ten cross-country skiing trails with tracks and three skating trails with various lengths and levels of difficulty connect a network of trails which total approx. 72 kilometres.

Sledging
It's not only children that love sledging: you can loan a sledge from us at the Forsthaus Auerhahn, free of charge, and take the transfer service at 10.30 am to the Seibelseckle lodge. Here you will find some beautifully prepared slopes – one of them even leads back to the hotel!

Winter hiking, with or without snowshoes
Here in the Black Forest, we have 180 kilometres of winter hiking trails and three special snowshoe routes for you to enjoy during your winter holiday. It depends on the snow conditions, but generally a pair of sturdy, waterproof boots should be adequate for a gentle and relaxing winter hike. If you prefer, however, we can also loan you snowshoes and poles for your hiking trips, free of charge.
