At the foot of the Kahler Asten, Altastenberg combines a family-friendly atmosphere with sporting highlights. Spacious, predominantly snow-covered slopes offer plenty of room and panoramic views. Families appreciate the chairlift on the gentle Kapellenabfahrt run. Experienced skiers will find challenges on the Westfalenhang and Steilhang runs.
In between, varied runs wind their way through snow-covered birch meadows. It’s easy to strike up a conversation – on the slopes, at the lift and whilst stopping for a bite to eat. You can step straight out of the hotel and into the world of skiing. Free car parks by the slopes make it easy for day visitors to get started.
