Ski vacations Altenberg - An adventure holiday in the Ore Mountains!
Altenberg
The spa and sports resort Altenberg is located in the eastern Ore Mounatins, only approx. 5 km from the border to the Czech Republic. Saxony's capital, Dresde - also known as Florence on the Elbe - is only approx. 50 km to the north. Altenberg can look back on a long history of mining, which is reflected in the many show-mines and museums within the area. The forested region is especially popular with nature fans. With the backdrop of these wonderfully snowy landscapes, you can look forward to some tobogganing and skiing, but als enjoy winter hikes, cross-country or try out the guest-biathlon area. The resort is also known for its bob course, which hosts many World Cup events, Euro and World Chamionships throughout the season. Every year, numerous winter sports fans come here to cheer for their Champion on the course. There are plenty other sporty and cultural attractions and events to enjoy in Altenberg, which all ensure that your holiday here is a great diverse experience.The Ore Mountains
A natural border between Saxony and Bohemia, the Ore Mountains came into being around 300 million years ago and are one of Saxony's most famous holiday region. Surrounded by the Elbsandstein Mountains, the Vogtland and the Northern Bohemian Basin, the two highest peaks of the Ore Mountains just wait to be conquered: the Keilberg on the Czech side (1,244 m) and the Fichtelberg on the German side (1,215 m).The mining history of this region began in the 12th century with the first findings of the valuable ore after which the region was named. You will not find miners here any more, but mine shafts and tunnels can still be visited today. The hard work can still be felt and seen just like it was back 600 years ago, when miners worked day in day out underground without any daylight.
The beautiful nature offers well looked after hiking tracks as well as great pistes and cross-country trails. The Ore Mountains are a unique combination of relaxation and adventure holiday for young and old.
