Altglashütten offers three slopes of varying difficulty, and you can also plan to travel there by train. From Freiburg, the connection to Altglashütten-Falkau involves one change in the direction of Seebrugg. This gives you two specific questions to consider when planning: Which descent interests you, and which timetable suits your travel day?

Choose slopes by difficulty

The ski area includes a family run suitable for beginners, a red run approximately 700 metres long that may be snow-covered, and a challenging black run. The three options therefore differ considerably in their stated difficulty. Which runs are open depends on seasonal conditions. Check current availability before planning a day of skiing.

The approximate length of the red run may help with your planning; at the same time, the difficulty levels are central to the range of slopes on offer. This makes it possible to consider which type of descent might interest you during your stay, without assuming it will be available in the current season.

Getting there and finding your way around

Altglashütten-Falkau can be reached from Freiburg by train, with one change in the direction of Seebrugg. After changing trains, the journey to the station takes about 50 minutes. Check the journey time and timetable for your specific travel day so that your journey is based on the connection operating at that time.

Altglashütten also has a visitor information point. There you can pick up brochures and flyers with tips on excursions, hiking, cycling, winter sports and family activities in the Hochschwarzwald region. The information available adds more topics to consider when planning your trip, alongside choosing a slope. If you want to use a particular service, check the latest details in advance.

Feldberg (Black Forest): more things to do in the wider destination

The route combines a nature experience, stories and interesting facts about the increasingly rare capercaillie. Its length and circular layout give you a clear idea of what to expect; the focus is on the forest and nature.

The Haus der Natur in Feldberg features an interactive permanent exhibition that presents the Feldberg nature reserve in a humorous way and is aimed at all audiences. A child carrier can be borrowed there for younger children. The availability of this service may change; check on site before relying on it.
