Germany

12 resorts

Germany packs all its serious skiing into the Bavarian Alps along the Austrian border: Garmisch-Partenkirchen under the Zugspitze, Oberstdorf in the Allgäu, Berchtesgaden over the Königssee. Smaller piste maps than the Tarentaise, but proper alpine terrain, World Cup pedigree and the most beautiful fresco-painted villages in the range.
