Festively lit old towns, wintry mountain landscapes and snow-covered forests make the region a versatile destination for short breaks from Switzerland. Visitors can visit Christmas markets in Freiburg or Freudenstadt, enjoy active pursuits in the Upper Black Forest, explore cross-country ski trails, winter walking routes or toboggan runs, and then relax at the Badeparadies Schwarzwald or the Solemar in Bad Dürrheim.
