The Ski Resort
On the Erbeskopf, the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate, winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy two kilometres of slopes. Skiers and snowboarders can make their turns on three downhill runs and a practice slope. Three drag lifts take winter sports enthusiasts up to 818 metres, the highest point of the ski area.
The winter sports centre on Erbeskopf also offers pure piste pleasure in the evening. Thanks to the floodlights, night skiing is possible every day, and on Fridays the slopes are even open until midnight.
Anyone wishing to make their first attempts on the boards at Erbeskopf can take a ski or snowboard course at the local ski school.
