A handful of hotels on the Spitzingsee shore sit a short walk from the Stümpfling and Roßkopf lift bases, with ski storage at the lift stations themselves. Genuine ski-in/ski-out is limited but the village is compact enough that boots-on access works in practice.
Spitzingsee sits at 1,085 m in a high basin behind the Tegernsee, the highest year-round inhabited place in Bavaria and the Munich locals' weekend ski escape. The Stümpfling-Roßkopf ski area runs a compact 20 km of piste across 8 km blue, 8 km red and 4 km black, served by 14 lifts and topped by a 1,581 m summit, looking south over the lake itself. The size suits long-weekend skiers rather than holiday-week families, and the lake-and-ridge layout gives every lift back to the village a panoramic finish. The week-day vibe is unusually quiet, the weekends busy with day-trippers up from the city, and the BOB train from Munich Hauptbahnhof connects to a short transfer bus that climbs to the lake. Off the slopes, a string of Gasthof, beer gardens around the Spitzingsee shore, and the Tegernsee region one valley over keep the cultural week interesting. Booking, Expedia and Hotels.com list lakefront stays and a few lift-side hotels, with the season running 14 December to 7 April.
