With the family on a skiing holiday to Winterberg
Tips & Tricks for a relaxed family holiday in winter
Suitcases have to be packed, accommodation reserved and the journey planned. It is not easy to think of everything. It is easy to forget something - especially if you want to have fun in your free time. For your stay at Winterberg we would like to give you some tips to help you make the most of your holiday and have an unforgettable time with your family.
Tip 1: Avoid the main arrival times
No matter whether you are on a day trip or a short holiday - try to avoid arriving and departing during rush hours. Especially during holidays and weekends there is often an increased traffic volume. Morning rush hours include above all the time from 9:00 to 11:00. In the afternoon, the streets become fuller again from 16:00 hrs when the lifts of Skiliftkarussell Winterberg close. How about taking a seat in one of the quaint ski huts in the ski area and let the day come to a cosy end there instead of spending your time in traffic jams? Why not visit the Panorama Café - Restaurant and enjoy the view of Winterberg in the mountain scenery of the Sauerland. After 18 o'clock the streets usually get empty again.
We recommend an early arrival. This offers you, among other things, the advantages that you can park quickly and easily, as well as close to the piste in one of the large car parks, save yourself long waiting times at lift ticket offices and ski rental, and be the first ones on the piste in the morning. Especially in the morning hours the conditions on the slopes are best on Skiliftkarussell Winterberg
Tip 2: Book your ski equipment online
Don't have your own skis? Or are you looking for a snowboard? Then you definitely need to visit a ski rental shop in Winterberg . If you book your ski equipment online before your visit, you will not only save time and nerves, but also costs. Book online here at Ski Rental Brinkmann and save 10% on your rental equipment. Conveniently pick up your booked equipment from one of the branches directly at the ski slopes and start your day.
Tip 3: Stay longer
Anyone who has ever been to Winterberg knows how much the small town in the Sauerland has to offer. Not only on the ski slopes you can spend several days without getting bored, but also off the slopes there is a lot to see and discover. Winterberg in the snow has a charm all of its own, which will certainly enchant you quickly. Why don't you plan 1-2 more overnight stays? This not only gives you more time flexibility, but also reduces the stress level enormously.
In order to have enough time to discover the city, we recommend an overnight stay at the inexpensive Hostel Erlebnisberg Kappe . The accommodation in Winterberg is located directly at Skiliftkarussell and offers comfort with youth hostel charm. The Hostel in Winterberg is ideally located for winter sports enthusiasts and equipped accordingly. In addition, the in-house kitchen prepares fresh and hot meals for guests.

Tip 4: Childcare
A skiing holiday is a holiday for the whole family - it should be and it should stay that way! Nevertheless, it is also nice for parents to have a little time for themselves in between. So how about a visit to the ski school? No matter if beginner or advanced, the little ones learn the right skiing technique and how to improve themselves playfully and quickly. There are a total of five ski schools at Skiliftkarussell Winterberg . Highly qualified ski instructors not only teach the children, but also look after them throughout the course. Mum and Dad can then enjoy the skiing area without any worries and can plunge into the most diverse downhill runs. After the ski course the little ones show what they have learned and the family moves on together again. Of course there are also courses for adults. If you don't feel so confident on skis yourself, then why not take part in the lessons.
Tip 5: No boredom
When are we there? How much longer? I have to pee. Those are the words you often hear while driving. Once you get bored, it can get really uncomfortable. That's why it's so important to entertain the little ones. The winter is perfect for that. There is fun in the snow even without hitting your wallet. The classic on the list is of course the snowman. You roll two or three large snow globes and build them on top of each other. It is decorated with stones and branches and then serves as a model for souvenir photos. Snow angels are also very popular with the little ones. Dressed warmly, you throw yourself into the snow and move your arms and feet again and again towards and away from your body. If you stand up, of course without destroying the shape, it looks like an angel. If you dare, you can also walk barefoot through the snow - but not too long, we don't want anyone else to catch a cold! Another tip: For a small fee you can rent a toboggan at the ski rental Brinkmann.
Tip 6: Simply enjoy your holiday
You will find that perhaps not everything always goes exactly as planned. But if we're honest, that would be boring, wouldn't it? You should never forget that you're on holiday. So if something does go wrong, always make the best of it - for the very reason that you are on holiday.
