The Oberjoch plateau hosts a cluster of hotels set directly on the piste at 1,130 m, making it one of the best genuine ski-in/ski-out addresses in Germany. Hotels in Bad Hindelang itself, four kilometres down the pass road, rely on a free ski-bus that runs every fifteen to thirty minutes.
Oberjoch sits at 1,130 m above the village of Bad Hindelang and benefits from a combination of altitude, north-westerly exposure and a slightly extra-alpine position that piles snow up year after year, with averages around 4 to 5 m and a base that often stays skiable until well into April. The ski area runs 32 km on 15 blue, 12 red and 3 black pistes served by 11 lifts, all set on a wide, sunny high plateau between 1,130 m and 1,559 m. The cult Iseler downhill drops off the western edge of the plateau as a long, sustained red, while the bowl skiing on the broad north face holds powder for days after a fall. Easy lift access, gentle nursery slopes at the base and a strong children's school programme make it a serious family option. Bad Hindelang in the valley below adds traditional Bavarian streets, thermal bathing and Gasthof dining, and the full hotel stack on the plateau and in town is bookable through Booking, Expedia and Hotels.com.
