The Black Forest cannot measure up to the Alps, of course, something which affects alpine skiing and snowboarding. However, there are several local ski-lifts and also contiguous skiing areas with pistes of all levels of difficulty up to World Cup downhill.
In the first instance, the ski slopes along the Schwarzwaldhochstraße (Black Forest High Road) between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt in the northern Black Forest are attractive. There are more possibilities for Alpine ski sport in the southern Black Forest, because the mountains are simply higher.
