Evaluated by Skiresort.info, the world's largest test portal for ski resorts.
The evaluation is done as follows
Advanced skiing, freeriding (powder snow skiing) Garmisch-Classic – Garmisch-Partenkirchen
A quarter of the slopes in the Garmisch-Classic ski resort are marked as difficult. The long valley runs, especially the 3,500 metre Kandahar, will challenge advanced skiers. The “Free Fall” (92% gradient, can be bypassed), is also the steepest section of the Alpine Ski World Cup. In good snow conditions, freeriders will have a great time on the Osterfelderkopf, at the Hochalm, the Längenfelderbahn lift and at the Bernadein lift.
- some freeride/deep snow areas
