Monte Kaolino, Sand skiing mountain in Hirschau, Germany
Monte Kaolino reaches 440 meters in elevation and consists of 35 million tonnes of kaolin sand, forming a substantial white hill in Bavaria.
The sand accumulation from kaolinite production led to experimental skiing activities in the 1950s, resulting in the establishment of a dedicated ski club in 1956.
The recreational complex incorporates German engineering excellence through its funicular system, enabling year-round skiing activities on the sand slopes.
The facility maintains 350 camping spots, multiple dining options, a water park, and a high ropes course with five different trails at heights up to twelve meters.
Monte Kaolino operates as a summer skiing destination, allowing visitors to slide down 120 meters of pure kaolin sand instead of traditional snow slopes.
