When is grooming done?
In stable weather without snowfall, our routes are freshly groomed late afternoon/evening for the next day.
If it has snowed overnight, the situation is quite different: Our grooming team starts around 6 a.m. to prepare all routes as quickly as possible! The snow groomers start at the Chiemgau Arena. One goes toward the 3-Lakes area, the other two groomers head toward the village. First, the Madshus route is groomed, followed by the practice meadow at Vita Alpina. Then the Grashof route and finally the Froschsee and Brander routes. That is the plan, but sometimes the schedule must be adjusted to conditions or, in case of heavy snowfall, improvised. Regardless, our grooming team always does its best to provide the best possible conditions!
Author’s recommendation
Just a short detour from the route: the historic café Windbeutelgräfin. Be sure to stop by and enjoy a sweet or savory cream puff on the sun terrace or in the traditional rooms of the former mill farmhouse!
Change to the Grashof route via connector V5 and run back to the route start "An der Ampel" via the golf course.
Or switch to the Laubauer route via the connector V6 for a longer round and run to the Chiemgau Arena (from here, return to Ruhpolding almost every half hour with the village line). If you haven't had enough exercise yet, you can run to Reit im Winkl via the 3-Lakes route. The return trip can be done comfortably by bus with the RVO (Regional Traffic Upper Bavaria).
