In winter the whole region of Schliersee is covered with snow and converts into a wonderful winter land. Even much earlier than anywhere else, the whole area around lake Spitzingsee is covered with snow. The reason is the location of the lake. It is situated at a height of 1.110 metres. With the help of a snow cannon the slopes are always well-prepared.

Next to the Stümpfling ski slope a night skiing event takes place on Thursdays and Fridays between 06.30 p.m. and 09.30 p.m. The whole ski slope is lightened during this time and therefore sinter sports lovers can stay a little longer.
