Bavarian Alps, Germany 🇩🇪
Hochries-Samerberg is the quiet Chiemgau hill above the Samerberg plateau, 13 km of family piste between 700 m and the 1,569 m Hochries summit. The Chiemsee opens to the north for one of the prettiest sunset views in the Bavarian Alps. Half an hour from Rosenheim, an easy world away from the Sudelfeld and Spitzingsee crowds.
Usually, with help. From 700 m to 1569 m the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells, so check the live report before booking early or late dates (score 68/100).
This is more of a valley base than a slopeside village, so expect a lift, train or shuttle to the snow each morning. Staying central, near the main lift, saves the most time.
It is a compact area, 13 km of piste on 6 lifts, best for a short break or a focused trip rather than a full week. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 4 blue, 4 red, 2 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Hochries-Samerberg stands out for a family-friendly setup.
The season usually runs Dec 14 to Mar 31 (about 15 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
