Hotels in Schauinsland, Germany

Schauinsland is a mountain in Germany's Black Forest, just outside Freiburg, famous for its scenic cable car ride-the longest in the country-and panoramic views of the Rhine Valley. The climate brings cold, snowy winters perfect for tobogganing on the 5-mile-long run down the mountain, while mild summers invite you to hike the 1,284-meter summit for views stretching to the Swiss Alps. Visit from December to February for skiing and snowshoeing at the Schauinsland ski lift, or June to August for wildflower-filled trails and a cool escape from the city heat.
