Winter
Enjoy the winter wonderland
Fancy some snow? Fancy clear, icy air? Fancy fascinating white worlds? Then discover winter in the Sauerland when it changes colour from green to white. In the middle of Germany, quickly reached and really pure snow fun for everyone!
Alpine skiing
Fast-paced downhill runs, cosy family slopes, challenging parks for snowboarders. The Wintersport Arena Sauerland is the "greatest snow pleasure north of the Alps". From mid-December to mid-March, the lift operators' snow-making equipment and, of course, Frau Holle ensure consistently good skiing conditions. Large chairlift facilities, ski schools, ski rentals and hearty refreshment stops ensure the winter sports pleasure you desire.
Nordic skiing
Glide silently through the snow on skis and enjoy the beautiful landscape and clear air. Without hustle and bustle and with lots of nature, the numerous cross-country trails in the Sauerland invite you to go cross-country skiing. The tracks along the mountain ranges of the Rothaargebirge are straight as a die. Follow them and enjoy the healthy, steady movement in the fresh snow.
Floodlit cross-country skiing is also possible at the cross-country skiing centre in Westfeld. It is also the starting point for numerous cross-country trails and offers guided snowshoe hikes.
Winter hiking
A cosy winter holiday. Sparkling hoarfrost on the branches, the crunch of snow under your shoes, a peaceful silence that only the snow-covered landscape can create. The Sauerland changes significantly as soon as the first snow has fallen or Father Frost takes hold. Entirely new views and impressions become possible.
Many hiking trails close to the village are cleared for hikers in winter. You can also hike along the groomed cross-country ski trails - of course always without destroying the ski tracks. Your hosts know recommended trails or you can find information about them on the web at:
