Blombergbahn (Blomberg mountain)
The chairlift from the valley floor takes seventeen minutes, climbing 517 metres through the trees before the Isar valley opens out below you. At the top, the Blomberghaus terrace is serving Kaiserschmarren and the views stretch across Tölzer Land in every direction.
Blomberg — 1,248 metres, wooded, unhurried — runs two toboggan tracks, a climbing forest claiming the title of Germany's highest, and a Saturday-night sledding session that runs until ten. It is a mountain that has found a clear sense of purpose without pretending to be anything grander than it is.
💛 What travellers fall for
Regulars tend to split the day: chairlift up, Blomberg Classic toboggan (1,300 metres, seventeen curves) back down from mid-station, then a slow lunch on the Blomberghaus terrace. The Blitz run — a year-round track with a gyro, a twister, two jumps — is the one families argue about doing again. Saturday evenings, the night toboggan session draws a different crowd entirely.
The story behind Blombergbahn (Blomberg mountain)
The Blomberg's story starts earlier than the chairlift. In spring 1907, a toboggan run and log cabin were finished on the mountain, and the Blomberghaus opened to the public that October — establishing the site as a day-trip destination long before any mechanical lift existed.
The city council turned its attention to a proper lift in 1965, cleared the route, and construction began in 1969. The Blombergbahn opened on May 27, 1971, inaugurated by State Minister Max Streibl. The double chairs were replaced with more comfortable models in 2009. When ski operations ended in 2014, the mountain shifted focus toward year-round toboggan runs and the climbing forest, settling into the shape it holds today.
Good to know
From Munich, take the Bayerische Oberlandbahn to Bad Tölz, then bus 9591 to the Blombergbahn stop — around ninety minutes total. Parking costs €2 for the day. Summer hours run 9:00–17:00, winter 9:00–16:00. The chairlift only operates in good weather, so check conditions before making the trip.
At 1,248 metres, the summit runs noticeably cooler than Bad Tölz in the valley — worth a layer even in midsummer. Winter brings snow and shorter operating hours; the toboggan runs are the draw then, while summer opens up the full range of activities and the clearest long-distance views.

What travellers say about Blombergbahn (Blomberg mountain)
We had amazing experience here. Everything is very good organized, clean and the staff is polite. We did go up with a Bahn and down with a slead, which I recommend. It is kid friendly and you can easily go up with your kids.
We got there around 9 a.m. and had no trouble parking or getting tickets and sleds. The downhill run was awesome, and it only started getting bumpy around noon when more people showed up. The lift wait also got up to about 20 minutes. Overall, it's a cool spot for all ages and skill levels.
On a sunday it was super crowded! The automats arent advertised enough and everyone just queues in one lane making the waiting time huge. Otherwise a great place.
Had the best time, food was great, my dad enjoyed it, 😉
Went here second time with my family. This is a fun outdoor activities for small children in winter. I also love that there is public charging stations that can be used. Overall recommended. Will def go back this summer to try their summer activities
