At the start of the new year, conditions in Saxony's winter sports resorts are quite good. In addition to the large ski resorts, the lifts are also running on smaller slopes. A number of cross-country ski trails are also groomed and toboggan fans can also get their money's worth. According to the weather service, it will remain frosty.
Multiple trails open in the Erzgebirge
The popular Kammloipe Erzgebirge/Vogtland is prepared for skiers, as reported by the responsible working group. The condition of the trails is good, but the snow cover is still very thin in some places, it said. The snow depth ranges from ten centimetres in Grünbach and Muldenberg to 20 centimetres in Carlsfeld and Johanngeorgenstadt.
The ridge trail stretches for around 36 kilometers from the Vogtland into the Ore Mountains, with several connecting trails as access points. It runs along the Erzgebirge ridge from Johanngeorgenstadt to Schöneck and has been awarded the title "Excellent trail".
Cross-country skiing fans can also take to the trails in the Osterzgebirge. According to the Altenberg tourist information office, several trails are open in the region - such as the ten-kilometre trail through the Kahleberg area and the Scharspitze and Wüster Teich circular trails.
