Mountain biking

Hiking is a popular pastime activity of locals and travellers alike in the area. On weekends the mountains can get a little crowded, though, as day travellers from Munich flock to Schliersee. The most popular summits around Schliersee are Brecherspitz and Jägerkamp, both of which provide exquisite views over the Schliersee valley.

The old Bavarian outdoor museum was created in 2007 at the instigation of Olympic gold medalist Markus Wasmeier, who was born in Schliersee. On display is an old Bavarian village consisting of historic buildings, craftsmanship, and animals. A special part of the museum is dedicated to the topic of "Tourism at the beginning of the 20th century" with emphasis on winter tourism. The museum also has a shop, a tavern and a brewery.

You are allowed to scuba dive in Lake Schliersee, but be aware of the rather cold temperatures of the mountain lake and the risks associated with lake diving.

Around Spitzingsee there are cross-country ski-tracks. If the lake has a solid ice cover, additional tracks are groomed there.

The Spitzingsee ski resort is one of the skiing spots in Bavaria with the highest probability of snow coverage. The season normally lasts from the end of November to the mid of April. The lifts are rather modern.

This triathlon between Lake Schliersee and Lake Spitzingsee takes place every year during the late summer.
