About Winterberg
A major winter sports resort, the town of Winterberg has long been popular with outdoorsy enthusiasts of all ages. Set in the heart of the Sauerland, part of North Rhine-Westphalia, this mountain escape will delight thrill-seekers during both the winter and summer months. Accommodation options range from cosy B&Bs to chic chalets, fit for a host of tastes and budgets. Out Gurus have selected a striking hotel with excellent restaurant and serene spa as the best place to stay in Winterberg.
Winterberg is blessed with long, snowy winters. Ski or snowboard along well-marked runs, venture off-piste if you’re an experienced sportsperson, or soak up magical views from various mountain view points. The St. Georg ski jump on Herrloh Mountain is a fantastic challenge, and there are some great bobsled runs — including one in an area in town. For an insight into the region’s long winter sports history, visit the West German Winter Sports Museum, which boasts an impressive collection of vintage ski, bobsled and ice-skating equipment.
Come summer, the mountains and meadows are wonderfully green. Ramblers will adore following lowland scenic trails, whilst keen climbers, mountain bikers and horse riders will find ample routes to discover through the forests and mountain passes which wind up towards the region’s imposing peaks. Speak to the team at the best places to stay in Winterberg about gliding excursions, too — there’s so much to experience in this beautiful part of Germany.
