Activities and excursions - Tips from Pincamp

Winter sports

Winterberg does not have the cold season in its name for nothing, as the region is a fantastic destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The Winterberg ski lift carousel combines several valleys and mountains and offers more than 30 ski runs totalling around 28 km in length. Racing down the mountains on downhill skis or enjoying the beautiful cross-country skiing trails are just two options. The St. Georg ski jump at Herrloh and four other smaller ski jumps are also located here. A bobsleigh run and the cross-country stadium on Bremberg are also exciting backdrops for winter sports fans.

Summer holiday in Winterberg

The leisure options around Winterberg are almost limitless. Beautiful lakes such as the Hillebachsee, hiking trails such as the Kapperundweg, excursions to an ore mine or an amusement park or a visit to a healing tunnel offer relaxation and countless new impressions. The Winterberg ski lift carousel is also a worthwhile destination in the warmer months: the forests between the pistes are mostly accessible outside the ski season and offer wonderful opportunities for family bike rides as well as for mountain bikers looking for the next action-packed tour. Three summer toboggan runs offer fast-paced fun through the beautiful countryside. Breathe in the mountain air and feel a bit like a ski jumper - the Sky-Fly ZIP-Line makes this possible too.

Best time to visit

Thanks to the altitude of around 670 metres, it is pleasantly cool when hiking in Winterberg's forests, even on hot days. As rainfall is highest from June to September, rainwear should be considered when camping in Winterberg. When the temperatures drop below 0 degrees at night at the end of November, the 28 pistes of the ski carousel are groomed. Just in time for the start of the season at the beginning of December, skiers can look forward to perfect snow conditions. In the largest ski area in the Sauerland, skiing does not close until April, weather permitting.
