In winter, a thick layer of snow covers the forests of the Black Forest. In the low mountain range there is sometimes even more snow than in the Alps. So grab your touring skis and discover the wild nature around Belchen and Feldberg. Look forward to strenuous climbs and powder-soft deep-snow descents.

The Förster tour is a classic Black Forest ski tour. Here is a variant for backcountry skiers without lift assistance. Thanks to the good bus connection between start and finish, this impressive crossing is easy to manage.

Schöne Skitour, bei der man auch im Schwarzwald auf gut 900 Hm kommt - mit nur zweimal anfellen. Die Aufstiege verlaufen überwiegend auf Forststrassen, die Abfahrten in Waldschneisen oder gar auf Skipisten ("Skiarena Spiesshorn"). Eine Schneehöhe von rund 50 cm sollte es aber schon haben (oberhalb 900 müNN).

Schöne und lange Rundtour ab Bernau-Hof. Auf dem Weg zum Spiesshorn ist man mehrheitlich alleine unterwegs. Die Karft muss auch zur Spurarbeit ausreichen.

Die Skitour von den Liften am Stollenbacher Hof auf den Feldberg und retour ist die Skitour im Freiburger Dunstkreis und daher wohl die am meisten begangene Tour im Schwarzwald. Und das sicher nicht zu Unrecht, kann sie doch beinahe auf der gesamten Länge mit herrlichen Fernblicken punkten!

Ski tour via the Herzogenhorn - Bernau-Hofeck - Bernauer Kreuz - Silberberg to Brandenberg, starting at the top of the Feldberg pass. This saves around 400 metres of ascent compared to the full tour. The gap is easily closed at the end with the ski bus.

This short tour on one of the classic Black Forest ski mountains is probably one of the most popular. This is mainly due to the relatively steep passages.

Ein paar der schönsten Abfahrten rund um den Feldberg.

from Johannes Maag,   Community

The Belchen is a beautiful skiing area in winter. Alpinists flock here and enjoy the rapid descent.

But ski touring is often also about seeking solitude. Don't worry, that's also possible on the Belchen!

The summit is one of the most beautiful in the world.

The summit is one of the four highest in the Black Forest and offers a beautiful panorama that impresses every time anew, no matter how many times you have seen it.

Kleine Tour von der Talstation auf den Gipfel

from Rosa Ruh,   Community

On the Glaswaldsee ski tour, you will sometimes share the ascent track with snowshoe hikers, but then have the edge on the descent.

 

The long-distance ski trail from Rinken to Wiedener Eck takes you right across the Black Forest and requires several ascents and descents. Beautiful ski descents reward you again and again for the ascents.

Side trip to the Vosges

On the border with the Black Forest lie the Vosges, a dreamlike region even in winter.

For extended tours, head into the neighbouring French country as far as the Ballon d’Alsace. There, the eastern flank is particularly attractive for experienced ski tourers.

Avalanche danger

In winter, there is also a danger of avalanches in the Black Forest. Particular caution is advised on the Feldberg and the Herzogenhorn.

Before every ski tour, find out about the current avalanche situation. Make sure that you are able to bear the risk and assess realistically whether you know your way around well enough.

Bring the right equipment.

Bring the right equipment with you (avalanche transceiver, avalanche probe, avalanche shovel) and make sure you know how to use it in an emergency.

For beginners as well as for professionals, an avalanche course is recommended as a refresher course, where you will be taught useful knowledge.

At the end of a successful ski tour

As soon as winter arrives in the Black Forest and the first snow falls, the romantic Christmas and Advent markets open their doors.

Gingerbread, Krautschupfnudeln, Brägele (roast potatoes) and mulled wine ensure culinary well-being, while Christmas music and twinkling lights already bring the anticipation of the Christmas holidays.

The Christmas market in Freiburg, the Calw Christmas market and the Heitersheim Christmas market in the Malteserschloss are particularly attractive.
