All in all, very good for a weekend.

  • Easily accessible slopes.
  • Many people are traveling on foot.

Willingen offers long slopes (almost 2 km long) especially for more experienced skiers, and waiting times are manageable thanks to the predominantly modern lifts (with the exception of the Sonnenlift). Most slopes are challenging red in the middle section and quite demanding for beginners. The Dorfwiese practice lifts and the Ritzhagen area are best for beginners. There is a good selection of restaurants in the ski area and an après-ski scene that rivals any alpine hotspot.

  • Very long slopes for a mid-mountain location, large après-ski offerings
  • Only one slope (Ritzhagen) is suitable for beginners.

We were there for a week, last week of febuary 2019. We didnt have much snow, but could still snowboard on the groomed pistes. There is a nice town, lots of cafes and most of the trails are connected even when there is no snowfall. The week after we went, the snow all melted though. Willingen is quieter and smaller than winterberg, meaning you have less waitingtime for the lifts. All in all a good week!

  • A lot of blue trails. Family friendly, wel groomed pistes and also a very quiet town
  • Snow is not guaranteed

Wir hatten einen tollen Kurzurlaub. Die Anlagen sind super und das Freizeitangebot sehr umfangreich. Einen Stern Abzug, da die Verkehrslage im Ort katastrophal ist. Es gehen natürlich sehr viele Urlauber zu Fuß zu den Pisten und müssen mehrfach die Straßen überqueren. Es gibt allerdings so gut wie gar keine Zebrastreifen, Verkehrsinseln oder gar Ampeln die dies einigermaßen sicher zulassen. Dies ist mir wirklich unverständlich. Gerade mit Kindern ein sehr großer Minuspunkt. Meiner Meinung nach muss hier dringend gehandelt werden. Sonst Top!

Station très sympa, certes sans pente monstrueuse ou dénivelé important mais suffisant pour passer de bonnes journées avec des tarifs bien moindre qu'en France

  • Très convivial
  • traverser la route pour se rendre de l'autre coté

Willingen hat eine tolle Infrastruktur und insgesamt für eine so nördliche Lage und Mittelgebirge durchaus vielfältige Pisten zu bieten. Super auch der Nachtskilauf - und natürlich das Aprés-Ski! ;) Insgesamt hat es uns sehr gut gefallen.

  • Für das Sauerland ein tolles Skigebiet
