Skiing & Snowboarding

in the Winter Sports Arena Sauerland

Meanwhile, the alpine offer is unparalleled in the Sauerland. Especially in the "ski strongholds" of Winterberg and Willingen, there has been a lot of investment in infrastructure and snow-making in recent years. Right on our doorstep you will find, for example, the Winterberg ski lift carousel with a total of 26 lifts and 34 runs, most of which are covered in snow. Smaller ski resorts have also upgraded and market their offer jointly under the roof of the Winter Sports Arena

Cross-country skiing

Brings movement into life

You are attracted to the cross-country ski run? Then your destination is Schmallenberger Sauerland. If there is enough natural snow, you can glide through up to 200 km of prepared cross-country trails along the mountain ridges of the Rothaargebirge and Hunau with their spectacular views. Thanks to a comprehensive network, the trails can be combined very well at altitudes between 650 and 841 metres above sea level. They are also easy to reach by (winter-tired) car and are uniformly signposted according to DSV (German Ski Federation) guidelines. Signs on downhill runs point out possible dangers, in circular tracks the kilometres still to be covered are indicated and the right direction is clearly marked at crossroads.
