Winter: We’ll be back on the slopes from 27 November!
NewsThe date has been set: from 27 November, the first lifts will be running at the Skiliftkarussell Winterberg. The all-weather snow-making systems make it possible to plan a small-scale opening. Up to six lifts will then be operating along the main route.
The full-scale start to the season will follow as soon as the weather cooperates. For this, we need sufficiently cold temperatures for conventional snowmaking or enough natural snow – ideally both! Then, further slopes and lifts will open gradually.
Advance ticket sales are underway, and season tickets are already available.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can see which lifts and runs in the Skiliftkarussell Winterberg are currently open in our lift and run guide. There you’ll find the current operating status for each individual lift, clearly organised by area within the ski resort. As a rule, information on which lifts will be running the following day is posted there in the evening.
With a combined day, half-day or multi-day ticket, you can access all the adventure areas of the Skiliftkarussell Winterberg network:
- Winterberg, with the slopes around Herrloh, Bremberg and Kappe
- Altastenberg
- Postwiese in Neuastenberg
- The slopes on the Sahnehang and at the Ruhrquelle
You can switch between the areas during the ticket’s validity period and explore the various networks of slopes. From three days’ validity onwards, your multi-day ticket is also valid in Willingen and at the Hunau in Bödefeld. Season tickets are also valid in these seven areas – depending on the option you choose, for daytime skiing, floodlit skiing or both.
The Winterberg ski lift network comprises several interconnected networks of slopes: in Winterberg, Altastenberg and on the Postwiese in Neuastenberg, you can ski from one slope to the next without having to take your skis off.
You can travel between these three areas on the ski bus. The Sahnehang is also connected. With a valid day ski pass, you can use the ski bus free of charge. The Ruhrquelle is not connected.
Subject to suitable snow conditions, the lifts in the Skiliftkarussell Winterberg are open daily from 9.00 am to 4.30 pm – including at weekends and on public holidays.
You can also do floodlit skiing at the following times:
Winterberg: Tuesday and Friday from 6.30 pm to 10.00 pm.
Postwiese in Neuastenberg: Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 6.30 pm to 10.00 pm
The lift and piste overview shows you which facilities are currently open.
From Monday to Friday, outside school holidays in Germany and the Netherlands, it’s usually less busy. At weekends, on public holidays and during the school holidays, it’s worth arriving early and being ready to go when the resort opens at 9.00 am.
If you still need to hire equipment or buy tickets, allow plenty of time for this. Hire shops and lift ticket offices open just before 9.00 am. If you arrive early, you’ll usually find a parking space.
If the car parks in Winterberg are full, there are usually still plenty of free spaces in the villages. Check the car park guide and choose an access point in Altastenberg, Neuastenberg or at the Sahnehang.
With 46 lifts and around 45 kilometres of slopes, there’s plenty of choice: find the area where you feel most comfortable, and explore the other networks of slopes too. This helps spread guests across the many slopes and lifts – meaning more time on the slopes and shorter queues.
