Feldberg is the most scenic ski resort that I have ever visited, with breathtaking views over the Black Forest. It is the ideal place to learn to ski. The instructors speak good English and are friendly and encouraging, whilst many of the pistes are wide and allow skiers of all abilities to go at their own pace - this even applies to the red runs at Seebuck. For those whose holiday isn't complete until they have done a black run, there's a long steep one at Feldberg used for World Cup events. A new chairlift was opened this year which has eased the congestion on the many T-bar lifts and generally the queues move fairly fast. However, Feldberg is not a big resort (although the pass is valid for some outlying areas that can only be reached with motorised transport) and the two main areas at Feldberg are linked by a bridge across the main road. There are two problems with this; several skiers found the bridge quite steep and intimidating, whilst the only way back again is to carry one's skis across the road and up a hill to a T-bar lift that gets very congested towards the end of the day. The other concern is that, as the highest point is only about 1450m above sea level, fog can be a problem and in a mild winter there might not be enough snow. Having said that, we had a wonderful time and will be returning next year.
