Willingen's apres-ski and the year-round weekend drive are legendary. In 14 discotheques, dance clubs and adventure guest houses you will find dance, fun and good mood like nowhere else in Germany's holiday resorts.

The cult is Siggis Ettelsberghütte, where every Saturday during the day already big party runs with regularly >1000 visitors. Afterwards the nightlife awakens in the place.

The "Meile" is located along the Brilonerstraße. Highlights are the "Brauhaus" for the younger generation (similar to the Ballermann discos in Mallorca), the Fox Dance and Schlager discotheque "Tenne", the smoking catacombs of the "Sir Henry", the colourful mix in the "Dorfalm" or in the LEOs as well as the classic disco "Vis-A-Vis", where the 1€ party on Thursday is also one of the popular outings. The Willinger Jugend meets in the "Mister X".

Outside the Centre is the adventure and dance club „Vis-A-Vis Hütte" very popular at the Sonnenlift.

"Later-laut-Kult" are the Wild thief locals on Ettelsberg – first of all the discotheque "Slift -, where it is especially in the early morning right to the thing, when in the center the curfew takes hold. From 2 o'clock in the center no new guests are left in the bars, at least at 3 o'clock in the center is everywhere the end - and the "Slift" starts!

Numerous taxis are available around the clock throughout the village to bring guests back to the restaurants and also safely to the holiday quarters.

Delicate and rest-loving guests avoid the "meile" on weekends, where it can be very lively on Fridays and Saturdays from the early evening. On weekdays it is quiet in Willingen. The dance halls are mostly closed.
