Winter sports in Winterberg
27 kilometres of slopes, 26 lifts, 34 runs – and just 1.5 km to the base! Spend your winter holiday right next to the largest ski resort north of the Main River. During the winter season, you can enjoy nearly 100 days of pure skiing and snowboarding fun here – including cosy ski huts to stop off at.
Don’t fancy the hassle of searching for a car park? Even with your ski kit, you can easily reach the bus stop, just 80 metres from the main building. From there, the bus will have you on the slopes in no time.
The best thing about winter in the Sauerland? You can enjoy it in more ways than just skiing and snowboarding. Numerous walking trails invite you to enjoy wonderful winter walks, and you’ll get your money’s worth with touring skis too. Afterwards, warm up with a delicious mulled wine or a fragrant hot chocolate in our cosy restaurant with its open fire and conservatory.
