Your recipe against winter hibernation – the Harz
Snow-covered forests, crisp winter air and time for shared experiences: the Harz invites you to enjoy the cold season exactly as you wish. Whether you’re looking to get active or simply seek the tranquillity of winter’s natural beauty – there are plenty of ways to make the most of your winter day.
Hit the slopes and enjoy the thrill of skiing: if you love downhill runs, you can look forward to winter adventures on skis or a snowboard. Whether you’re trying out your first turns or are a more experienced skier: find out about the ski resorts and what they have to offer before your trip.
Cross-country skiing through the winter landscape: would you like to combine exercise with enjoying nature? Cross-country skiing lets you explore the winter landscape at your own pace. Enjoy the fresh air, find your rhythm and leave the daily grind behind you for a while.
Having fun tobogganing together: Pull the sledge up the slope, take your seat and whizz down with a laugh – for many, tobogganing is simply part of a perfect winter’s day. Whether with family or friends: a toboggan ride ensures happy moments together in the snow.
Discover winter on foot: even without skis or a sledge, you can experience the special atmosphere of the Harz Mountains. Whether you’re going for a winter hike or a leisurely stroll, you’ll have time to take in the scenery, breathe deeply and enjoy the peace and quiet. Choose a route that suits you and the current weather and trail conditions.
