Discover Winterberg
Accommodation in Winterberg Holiday Apartment
Winterberg can be experienced in different ways: with runs on groomed slopes, your first experiences on a trail, or excursions to distinctive structures and viewpoints. For families looking for a holiday apartment, it is therefore worth focusing first and foremost on the activities they want to shape their stay. The options have different focuses—from getting active on trails to a trip to the Panorama Erlebnis Brücke or the Kahler Asten.

Runs and first trail experiences
The Skiliftkarussell Winterberg offers 44 kilometres of runs on groomed slopes and has modern chairlifts. If you choose Winterberg for skiing, this provides a clear focus for planning your trip. The “Family First” loop is suitable for trail beginners and families who want to gain their first experience on trails. This distinction is especially helpful when choosing the day’s activities for a trip with differing interests.
Panorama Erlebnis Brücke: views and fun features
The Panorama Erlebnis Brücke is 435 metres long and 20 metres high. The bridge has five fun features where visitors can climb along above, below or beside it. A visit thus combines crossing the bridge with the climbing features described; those interested can treat this experience as a separate activity. From the bridge, there are views of Winterberg, the city’s landmarks and attractions, and the Winterberg Bike Park. It is accessible to wheelchair users; dogs are permitted on a leash. This information may be relevant to your decision if you are travelling with a wheelchair or a dog.
Landmarks and places to visit
The St. George ski jump stands out for its distinctive arch. It rises 80 metres above the Rothaar Mountains at Herrloh and is considered a landmark of Winterberg. If you are interested in distinctive structures, you can include it as a point of reference when exploring the city. Another destination is the historic Astenturm: it stands at an altitude of 841 metres on the Kahler Asten and is a place to visit in Winterberg.
Routes and winter walks
The 142-kilometre Lenneroute begins at the source of the Lenne and leads through forests and meadows to Hagen. Its length and course give it a different character from a single place to visit in Winterberg: the route connects its starting point at the source with a longer journey through varied landscapes. In the wider surrounding region, there are cleared and rolled premium winter hiking trails in Winterberg and Hallenberg, specially signposted for winter. If winter walking is part of your trip idea, these trails are another option alongside runs on groomed slopes.
