    Despite the absence of a classic summit, the ski route on the Hohe Rossfelder impresses with its scenic beauty and thrilling descent.

    The ski route on the Hohe Rossfelder is one of the panoramic highlights in the Berchtesgaden Mountains and offers, in addition to breathtaking views, excellent descent opportunities. The ski route starts at the valley station of the Jennerbahn and leads uphill for the first few meters along the former ski slope. Then the "Hochbahn" branches off to the right towards Königsbachalm, a path that gently ascends along the Königsbach creek and repeatedly offers spectacular views of the Watzmann and the Königssee. After about an hour, ski tourers reach the Königsbachalm and continue their way towards Priesbergalm. This section is characterized by an open landscape with a steeper ascent that eventually leads to a plateau where the cold is felt very intensely.

    Author’s recommendation

    To avoid the descent via the Hochbahn, the ascent to the Jenner or crossing to the mid-station is recommended.

    Roadbook

    The ski route on the Hohe Rossfelder is one of the panoramic highlights in the Berchtesgaden region and offers, besides breathtaking views, excellent descent possibilities. Despite the absence of a classic summit, the route convinces with its scenic beauty and excellent conditions for ski tourers. The ski route starts at the valley station of the Jennerbahn and leads uphill for the first few meters along the ski slope. Then the "Hochbahn" branches off to the right towards Königsbachalm, a path that gently ascends along the Königsbach creek and repeatedly offers spectacular views of the Watzmann and the Königssee. After about an hour, ski tourers reach the Königsbachalm and continue their way towards Priesbergalm. This section is characterized by an open landscape with a steeper ascent that eventually leads to a plateau where the cold is felt even more intensely.

    After leaving the forest behind, the route leads over open slopes to the summit of the Hohe Rossfelder. The ridge finally offers the view of the tour’s goal and the upcoming descent, which, under optimal avalanche conditions and fresh powder snow, promises pure joy. The descent itself is a highlight, with perfect conditions lasting down to the Königsbachalm.
