Family offers/child-friendly rating Arber

The Arber is an ideal family ski area. With the large ArBär Kinderland, a parallel giant slalom for kids with double timekeeping, the Family Cross Park (Funslope), and a toboggan run, excellent family facilities have been created. The 6-seater Sonnenhang chairlift is specially designed for children. It automatically closes the safety bar and opens it automatically at the mountain station. The good value for money for families in the Bavarian Forest is also worth mentioning.

The 6-seater Sonnenhang chairlift takes you up to the start of the 1,200 m long toboggan run. The relatively flat and easy route leads to the Thurnhofstüberl. A free toboggan bus takes riders from the Thurnhofhang back to the Sonnenhang chairlift for further runs. You can also go tobogganing at the ArBär Kinderland. After riding up with two conveyor belts, you enter the lower section of the toboggan run.
