About Winterberg
Winterberg is the winter sports centre of the Rothaargebirge, in the Hochsauerland. The Skiliftkarussell has 25 lifts and snow-making on about 95 per cent of its slopes, and the Kahler Asten, 841 metres high, stands about 5 km south-west of the centre. Homes are spread around the town and nearby villages, and they tend to be large: the typical home sleeps six, and a good share sleep eight or more. A minority have a private pool, a sauna or a fireplace. In summer the same hills carry a bike park with about 6 km of downhill tracks, plus the Rothaarsteig ridge trail.
