The new trail tickets - please support us!
The municipalities of Winterberg, Willingen, Schmallenberg and Brilon count on your fairness and cooperation for your cross-country skiing pleasure in Sauerland! Cross-country skiing is a complex activity and is completed by clubs and ski clubs in many hours of work. In contrast to the ski-Alpin, where the slopes are covered by lift tickets, it is not possible to enforce controlled cross-country skiing fees in extensive terrain. This effort can only be partially offset by spa fees or donations. Therefore, we appeal to your sports spirit and your fairness to make an appropriate contribution for your cross-country skiing pleasure as follows:

Winter hiking & family winter
A winter hike in blue skies in deep snowy forests and the tranquility of a completely white nature becomes a fairytale pleasure.
100km of cleared and groomed winter hiking trails above 600m there are in the area of the ridge of the Hochsauerland around the towns of Schmallenberg, Winterberg, Willingen and Brilon. Either the paths are cleared or the snow has been pressed on. Here you can also drag your children on the sledge.
Bizarre forms of trees and shrubs, as only winter can conjure them, lonely traces of forest dwellers in deep snow and iced creeks not only inspire your children's instinct for discovery. A sunny winter day is always a wonderful experience for all generations.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to prepare all winter hiking trails immediately after a heavy snowfall, since this takes some time for the many kilometers of route. Information about open paths and path plans you get in the local Tourist information or HERE
