Winterberg is ready: snow season starts with a new all-weather lift!

In Winterberg, in the Sauerland winter sports arena, the exciting transition from summer to winter operations begins today. Lift operator Nico Brinkmann and his dedicated team are working intensively to prepare the lifts that transported bikers in the summer for the coming ski season. This work not only includes thorough cleaning of the facilities, but also re-equipment for skiers. The snow guns are already in operation and are bringing the first glittering white flakes onto the slopes.

A highlight of the conversion is the new all-weather snow gun, which is already in test operation. In contrast to traditional snow cannons, which can only produce snow from minus three degrees, this innovative snow gun is able to produce snow regardless of the outside temperature. This means that Winterberg can expect a guaranteed snow cover, no matter how mild the temperatures are, and that's exactly what winter sports enthusiasts want to hear.

The best signs for the season

Work will continue on the slopes in the coming days and, if the cold conditions are right, the first lifts should be put into operation towards the end of November or beginning of December. There is particular anticipation about the return of numerous winter sports enthusiasts who want to hit the slopes of the Sauerland winter sports arena again this year. WDR reports that The winter sports arena is not only an Eldorado for skiers, but also for tobogganers, snowboarders and cross-country skiers.

The arena stretches from the Sauerland to the Siegerland-Wittgenstein region and is one of the most popular destinations north of the Alps. World-famous sports facilities can be found here, including the Winterberg bobsleigh track, the Mühlenkopfschanze in Willingen and various biathlon centers. The variety of offerings enables a winter sports experience that is suitable for all age groups. Whether beginner or professional, everyone gets their money's worth here, and the joy of the snow comes first. The Sauerland winter sports arena offers the best basis for this.

With the season starting soon, the lift companies are well prepared and will ensure that the region's attractiveness is at the top of the list not only in summer but also in winter. All eyes are on the first snowfalls and the upcoming adventure on the slopes of Winterberg.
