Sudelfeld near Bayrischzell is one of the larger ski areas in the Bavarian Alps, with 27 runs over 31.2 kilometres from 850 to 1,563 metres, a vertical of 713 metres. Intermediates carry the area at 60%, with 25% beginner and 15% advanced. Lifting is a mix of modern and old, with an eight-seat chair, a six-seater, a quad, a triple, a single chair and eight T-bars, so some lines are quick and comfortable and others call for some T-bar technique. The area sits roughly an hour from Munich, which explains the weekend crowds.

The Waldkopf side holds the harder skiing, including a black FIS-standard course that suits strong skiers wanting a steeper pitch. Lower Sudelfeld is friendlier, with Snuki children's land beside the Waldkopfbahn base and another kids area at Tannerfeld in Bayrischzell. Views across to the Wendelstein are a bonus on clear days. Sudelfeld suits confident intermediates, families and Munich day-trippers looking for variety rather than altitude. Expect reds as the backbone, a handful of challenging blacks, and a day that is best started early on weekends.
