Dry Ski Slope in Oberaudorf opened on 2023, November 30

A successful start to the 2023/2024 ski season. Oberaudorf's Hocheck ski resort was the first ski resort in Bavaria to open the slopes in Kinderland. With the approx. 80m long and 10m wide mat ski slope from Skitrax World, the start of the season could be celebrated 100%. The approx. 10cm of natural snow that had fallen would not have been enough for the season opening. 

Well organized by the "Top of the Mountain" ski school, the children from the local kindergarten were the first to open the ski season. They quickly put up little hats and built small jumps. The fresh snow on the plastic slope was quickly removed so that skiing could continue on the mats. 

The children loved it. Despite the bad weather, some press representatives were present and reported on the opening of the "100% snow-safe ski slope". This plastic slope on Hocheck is open every weekend. 

Here is a podcast report from the Charivari 95.5 and TOP.FM radio stations about the perfect start to the season (German Language):

You can park right next to the practice area. Directions to the parking lot - simply follow the signs to the "Übungsgelände" parking lot.

Of course, you can also travel to Oberaudorf CO²-neutral by train. From Oberaudorf train station, you can easily reach the valley station on foot in approx. 8 minutes. If you don't have skis, you can hire them locally from the ski hire shop. 

In winter, you can ski here four times a week on one of the longest floodlit slopes in Germany.
