Skiliftkarussell Winterberg - No 1 north of the Alps
The largest ski resort in the Sauerland, the second largest ski resort in the low mountains and the technically most modern ski resort in Germany with it on one after the largest snow cannon system in the world!
It was skiresort.de, snowplaza.de and skibiere-test.de repeatedly ranked by the 1-2 as one of the best ski resorts in the German Middle Mountains. Many ski experts also call the ski lift carousel best ski resort for beginners in general, since most blue slopes are very shallow - and all are equipped with comfortable removable chairlifts - a total of 14 chairlifts.
The archrivals from Willingen like to mock with some envy: "If you want to ride chairlifts, go to Winterberg - if you want to ski, come to Willingen".
For beginners, Willingen is not ideal, but the slopes are longer (about 800-1500m) and usually red and demanding than in Winterberg, therefore passionate skiers often prefer Willingen. The fact is: winter friends benefit from the competition, so every skier in Sauerland finds the right ski area for him.
Especially Dutch love the ski lift carousel and therefore have a nightly share of about 50% in winter. That's why Winterberg is the "'St. Moritz de Nederlanders' The Commission's proposal is based on the following principles:
There are Lighted skis on Tuesday and Friday from 6.30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Ski schools and ski rental
During the high season, courses are given daily from 10 a.m. and you do not need to register in advance. But you have to get there about an hour earlier.
Ski rental is also available in the smaller resorts around the ski resorts.
Tip: A rule of thumb is that the more you get away from the ski resort, the cheaper the ski rental.
For example, there are cheap ski rental companies along the access roads to Winterberg

For your cross-country skiing in the Sauerland community, Willingen includes your honesty and cooperation!Trail maintenance is expensive and graduated from clubs and ski clubs in many hours of work. Unlike alpine skiing where care is charged with the on-lift tickets, maintaining controlled trail fees on a large site is not possible. This effort can only be partially compensated by tourist tax or donations. We therefore appeal to your sportsmanship and your honesty to make an appropriate contribution to your cross-country skiing fun as follows:
Ski tickets Nordic Sports Arena Sauerland
- Day ticket: 5,00€ - Season Ticket 30,00€
- Children under 16J. Free
Detailed price information HERE
The trail tickets are available in the tourist information, at many ski rental companies and in the cross-country ski centres.

Winter hiking & family winter
A winter walk under blue skies in snow-covered forests and the tranquillity of a white-dressed nature becomes a fairytale delight.
100km of cleared and prepared winter hiking trails above 600m are located in the area of the Hochsauerland mountain ridge around the villages Schmallenberg, Winterberg, Willingen and Brilon. The trails are clear or the snow is pressed down. Here you can also drag your children on the sleigh.
Bizarre forms of trees and bushes, because only winter can evoke, lonely traces of forest dwellers in the deep snow and icy streams not only inspire your children's discovery instincts. A sunny winter day is always a great experience for all generations.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to prepare all winter hiking trails immediately after heavy snowfall, because this takes some time with the many kilometres of the route. Information about open roads and road maps can be found in the local Tourist Information or HERE
