Winterberg Ski Resort

The ski lift carousel Winterberg in the region of Sauerland guarantees ski fun on 7 mountains. 34 runs spread across 27,5 kilometers of skiable terrain. It’s actually the biggest connected area above the Main River. The ski resort also appeals with up to date lifts and a night skiing offer that no other ski resort in Western Germany can hold a candle to.

A great spot for beginners is the area around Herrlohkopf (lift No. 17-19) and the Bremberg (lift No. 9-11). The trails off lift No. 15 at Käppchenhang are also great to find your ski legs. Those are also great to work on your skills since they are pretty generous, open and not too steep. Herrlohkopf is especially great for small ski fans. On 1 ha you’ll find a huge kids area with magic carpet, colorful figures and a tepee tent.

For those, who have more experience under their belt, the Poppenberg is a great option. The designated reds are ideal for carving. The Kappe, on the opposite side, features a great black run. It’s located right next to the bob run, which annually welcomes the world’s best bobber. The slalom run at Herrlohkopf (No. 2) is even among the steepest trails north of the Alps.

The ski resort guarantess a blast, even at night time. Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday you can hit 14 runs with a total length of eight kilometers, that are lighted until 10 pm. So come here to enjoy the greatest offer for lighted skiing in Western Germany.

The ski resort offers a huge variety of mid-mountain huts and awesome restaurants. The Kappe’s peak expects you with a panorama restaurant from where you’ll have the best view. The menu gives a great choice of Pasta dishes, Salads and BBQ specialties. The Schneewittchenhaus is well-known for delicious homemade treats and the Brembergklause is a great rest place if the small hunger creeps on you.
At the base of Herlohkopf welcomes the Ussas hut all hungry skiers. It combines a comfortable environment and good German food. If you’re really really hungry, be brave and order the ´Monsterschnitzel´!

The black trail at Kappe is perfect for all experts and makes even the best skiers think twice.

Tobaggoning fans can expect two great runs, one at Herrloh, the other at Bremberg. If you look for a challenge besides skiing, attend the new snow kite classes.
Less adventurous is winter hiking. Winterberg has premium hiking trails that vary between short and long trails and difficulty level.

A great hangout for Apres-ski fans is Möppi’s hut, located at the Poppenberg trails. Alm Salettl gives you everything you need for a fun night out plus a great panorama view from the sun deck. The Schneewitchenhaus is a great place to come for drinks since the bar is pretty well equipped. If you still don’t have enough, you continue your party in the town of Winterberg. Tenne Winterberg and Muhve In are the popular places among locals and seasonnaires.
