Back by popular demand is the answer to Where can we go sledding and skiing around here? In this case, this is from expats in and near Oberursel at the foot of the Taunus Mountains.
The state of Hessen boasts many sledding trails and the most popular ones are the hill in Falkenstein, downhill from Hohemark, Pechberg at Oberreifenberg, and at Sporthotel Erbismühle in Weilrod.
I personally prefer Oberreifenberg, but you should give the others a try too.
Oberreifenberg sledding trail
The Pechberg at Oberreifenberg has been recommended for sledding and skiing and also provides opportunities nearby for cross-country skiing and walking trails. The Pechberg is most suitable for ski beginners among the children and adults. Once you get to Waldstrasse in Oberreifenberg, you can see the little ski resort and the parking lot in Siegfriedstrasse.
There is a ski lift, which is also safe and suited for the little skiers. The sledders have their own trail.
Many families bring a little snow-picnic lunch along (hot juice or tea and sausages). There are also food vendors selling pizza and Bratwurst.
For a detailed snow update at the Pechberg (tar mountain), you can call 06081 – 442 138 for more information.
The Taunusklub lists four more skiing/sledding trails (in German) within the vicinity.
Hi Maria, thanks for the informations about sledding.
I live in dreieich (frankfurt) – What would be the nearest place to sledding & skiing lesson for kids.
Do you think in Taunus Moutain i wil be able to do that ?
Feldberg will take me 3hrs 15mns to get there – it might be to far for only one day.
Can you help please ?
Thanks a lots
David
David, as it happens, the Feldberg Mountain I was referring to is nearby (look for Großer Feldberg/Taunus). It is about 46 km from Dreieich to the Taunus mountains and it should take no more than 40 minutes.
From our home in Oberursel (20km N/W of Frankfurt), it takes about 20 minutes.
