Winter sports in the Harz Mountains

Your recipe against winter hibernation – the Harz

The Harz Mountains are easy to reach from all directions. In winter, you’ll find plenty of opportunities for snow activities here – for families, beginners, and experienced visitors. There are ski areas with slopes for all levels, fun parks for snowboarders, around 500 kilometres of cross-country trails, toboggan runs, a snow tubing facility, and numerous winter hiking trails.

On these pages, you’ll find up-to-date information about the conditions in the winter sports areas during the winter season. The data comes from partners in the ski resorts and winter sports towns as well as from the Harz National Park and is updated daily.

Grooming the trails is particularly challenging in a low mountain range like the Harz. Many different factors need to be taken into account.
