auffach in winter

People who like the winter-sport can get their fair share in Auffach.. For as well as the skier, the cross country skier and the snow boarder. There are many possibilities. Skiers can make several descends from the sides of the Schatzberg. Because of the snow canons it is possible to ski right into the valley.
The gondola lift, the chairs and cable lifts are daily continuously in use during the winter season. There is a choice in lift tickets either lasting for 2 hours or 21 days. Halfway the piste there is a country house called “Koglmoos “ and further more there are various other places where you can eat and drink. People, who go up or down by gondola can get off there. Snow boarders can use the ski pistes. For the cross-country skiers, two courses have been plotted in Auffach one to Bernau and one from Auffach to Muhltal. Also if there is no danger of an avalanche a course will be set out at Schonanger. Auffach is also supplied with a splendid laid down toboggan run, which has a length of 3,5 kilometres. The track starts at the Mittelstation at Koglmoos and runs partly through the forest, and ends at the lift in Auffach anyone who has bought a two-hours lift ticket can toboggan for two hours in a relatively cheap way. Perhaps you wonder, if there are only fast sports, being done here, but the answer is no, because there is enough to do for walkers as well, for next to routes having been set out for skiers etc., there are also splendid walking routes which walkers can enjoy, often the roads are free of snow as well. Furthermore it is to be recommended to go for a walk in the Schonanger or to follow the route from Auffach via Muhltal to Bernau.
Near the lift a Ski school has been established where you may get useful information. Then it would be handy to obtain the free booklet “Holidays in Winter at the Tourist Information Centre .
