Götschen-Bischofswiesen
800 - 1310 m7 km43% easy pistes
Götschen-Bischofswiesen is the quiet family hill of the Berchtesgaden corner, 7 km of well-snowmade piste on the Götschen-Eck above the village of Bischofswiesen. The Watzmann fills the southern skyline and the bigger Jenner sits across the valley for variety. A weekday morning here is one of the calmest lift-served outings in the Bavarian Alps.

Berchtesgaden
630 - 1800 m25 km32% easy pistes
The Watzmann's east face rising above town, the Königssee lying like a fjord in the next valley, and the Jenner cable car climbing to 1,800 m from a Royal Bavarian salt-trade past. Berchtesgaden is more setting than ski circus, and that is exactly its appeal.

Inzell
690 - 1670 m15 km40% easy pistes
Inzell sits at 690 m in the Chiemgau, tucked under the Chiemgauer Alpen, a quiet old farming village with a modest 15 km piste system on the Kessel-Bergstadl sector. The town is far better known for speedskating: the Max Aicher Arena hosts the Speedskating World Cup and produced a long line of German Olympians. For winter visitors, though, the bigger draw is the cross-country network shared with Reit im Winkl, 60 km of immaculately tracked loipe.

Hotels around Götschen-Bischofswiesen
Getting there
Which ski resort is closest to Salzburg Airport?+
Götschen-Bischofswiesen, in Bavarian Alps, is the nearest at about 16 km in a straight line. By mountain road it is longer, but nothing else is closer.
How are these distances measured?+
As the crow flies, from the airport coordinates to each resort. It is a fair way to rank what is nearest, but real driving distance is longer on winding Alpine roads, so treat it as an order of proximity, not a transfer time.
