Hiking

Around Willingen, you will find marked hiking trails through diverse natural landscapes. Accessible as well as challenging hiking trails, which can be explored with or without qualified hiking guides, make Willingen the secret hiking capital.

Biking

The Willingen Bike World is located in beautiful North Hesse on the border to the Hochsauerland and attracts bikers with its 800-meter-high mountain peaks and its very special topography. Challenging ascents, rapid descents, especially in the downhill area, as well as miles of cycling paths, make for a perfect cycling holiday.

Winter Sports

The Willingen ski resort guarantees snow-sure slopes with its over 100 snow generators and offers winter sports enthusiasts a wide range of options.

19 ski lifts with 18 kilometers of slopes, children’s areas, four conveyor belts, ski rentals, and DSV ski schools make your winter holiday a thoroughly successful experience – just a few meters from our hotel.

Families

Especially popular with the little ones is the summer toboggan run with an adjacent marble run and trampoline facility. The cable car ride up the Ettelsberg, where the Hochheideturm awaits families with an impressive view over North Hesse and the Hochsauerland, makes every excursion perfect. A newly designed adventure playground and a nature trail complete the diverse offerings.
