Guía de Estación de Esquí Lenggries

I was a military brat that had the privalidge to grow up and spend 17 years in the Bad Toelz/ Lenggries area. My last 5 years in Germany I lived in Lenggries and can tell you it was an awesome experience. The locals are great and welcoming. I also know many of the bar/restaurant owners personally in town and, more importantly, on the ski slopes. I haven't been to very many resorts/towns in Germany. Austria, Italy or the USA that still have that hometown feeling and are not yet commercialized as if skiing into a McDonalds on the slopes. Lenggries is a very traditional town and yet only 1 hour by train from Munich, which makes it a very popular destination for people in that region. Sure there are larger and more popular resorts to ski in the area, but you can't beat that Bavarian Gemuetlichkeit in Lenggries and the lift ticket prices compared to Garmisch or some of the other larger resorts. I have skied many resorts in southern Europe and am always drawn back to Lenggries every year for that typical Bavarian charm.
