A highlight during winter time is a torchlight skiing descent through the forest.

Forests and meadows cloaked in a snowy white mantle. Frozen ponds and invigorating clean air. This is winter in the Harz.

The countryside around the town displays its numerous charms at this time of the year and the choice of how to enjoy it is yours—skiing, tobogganing, ice-skating or walking.

A number of cleared and, if necessary, gritted trails offer the perfect opportunity for walking through the landscape. You can recharge your batteries in the knowledge that you have chosen a particularly healthy type of holiday.

The 726-metre-high Bocksberg Mountain is the ideal starting point for walks through idyllic forests and for enjoying marvellous views. – © HAHNENKLEE tourismus marketing gmbh

Winter in the Harz is the high season of sporting fun: cross-country skiing, downhill and snowboarding, tobogganing, ice-skating and curling. And we guarantee that if it stops snowing for a while, but it is still frosty, then the family downhill ski slope and the toboggan run have technical backup equipment. Snow canons ensure a thick blanket of snow.

As the day draws to a close and the sinking sun envelops the magical winter landscape in romantic dusky tones, guests and locals meet in the restaurants for convivial chats, look back on the events of the day and look forward to tomorrow.
