Furthermore, new, more efficient and energy-saving snow generators are replacing the old models in many places. Due to its proximity to residential buildings and hotels, the operators at the Herrloh invested in particularly quiet snow cannons. At the Altastenberg ski resort, snow reliability is also being improved through the purchase of new equipment. To ensure hassle-free skiing fun, further improvements are being made in the ski/snowboard rental system: to allow ski enthusiasts to choose the equipment they need before arrival, rental providers are, among other things, using time-saving online reservation systems in Neuastenberg since this winter.
Optimal conditions in the cross-country and sledding paradise
Memorable cross-country skiing experiences on perfectly prepared trails: Last summer, volunteer helpers renovated all the cross-country trails. A new storage building for ski rollers and other materials was built at the Bremberg Parkplatz in the Winterberg cross-country skiing area. The Nordic winter sports enthusiasts at the Pastorenwiese cross-country skiing center can also look forward to a new innovation: The cross-country skiing club invested in a new device that makes it possible to follow the tracks of the cross-country trails even in low snow conditions and offers unlimited cross-country skiing fun.
Apart from the ski trails and slopes, tobogganing and sledding are becoming increasingly popular with both young and old visitors.
