Excursion destination "St. Georg ski jump Winterberg"

16 minutes by car or 16.1 kilometers from the hotel.

When we hear the word "ski jumping", we usually think of snow-covered hills and spectators wrapped up in thick layers of snow. However, ski jumping is a sport that is practiced all year round - for example in Winterberg.

Here, at Herrloh in the Winterberg ski lift carousel, is the St. Georg ski jump, which was designed by Fritz Gladen and built in 1959. Since 2000, it has been a plastic covered ski jump for use without snow, but since 2007 it has once again been a year-round ski jump. Visitors can also climb the steps of the ski jump. Once at the top, they can enjoy a wonderful view of the Sauerland.

Today, the ski jump mainly serves as a training venue for junior ski jumpers from the Winterberg ski club. It used to be the venue for the German Championships and the Nordic Combined Summer Grand Prix.
