Brauneck in Lenggries is one of the bigger ski mountains in the Bavarian Pre-Alps, south of Munich, with 20 runs and 30.7 kilometres of piste across a vertical of 1,012 metres, from 700 up to 1,712 metres. Grading is 11% beginner, 67% intermediate and 22% advanced, with no expert terrain, so it is a red-run mountain at heart, with long, steady descents. A gondola, two six-seaters, two quads, a triple and 10 T-bars share the work. Few German areas offer this much vertical within easy reach of Munich.

From the summit, the Garland slope is the steep section, with mogul runs and a black World Cup piste dropping toward Lenggries. Idealhang and the middle slopes suit intermediates cruising on medium-pitch pistes, while the family run to Wegscheid is about four kilometres long and drops nearly 800 metres, a satisfying long finish to the day. Lower slopes at Streidl, Jauden and Draxl are wide and easy for learners. Brauneck suits strong intermediates, Munich day-trippers and families, though it can get busy on weekends. Experts will find the black runs short.

The ski season at Brauneck typically extends from December through March, with the best conditions usually found in January and February. The resort receives an average snowfall of 3-4m annually, supplemented by comprehensive snowmaking that covers over 70% of all slopes.
