      Winter sports closer to home: ski areas in Germany

      No time or budget for the Alps? These areas in the German low mountain ranges are closer and fit into a (long) weekend. What is listed comes from the ski area itself.

      Willingen (Sauerland)

      • If you come with a coach company, you park for free in the coach parking spaces right next to the cable car's valley station.
      • 120 snow cannons together provide 13 kilometres of piste with artificial snow (source: Skigebiet Willingen, Beschneiungsanlagen).

      What to look out for with a ski trip

      Frequently asked questions

      Frequently asked questions about ski trips

      Is there extra space for ski and snowboard gear?

      Yes, mention it in your request so the coach company can take it into account.

      Can the coach drive through the night?

      Yes, put it in your request. A trip to the Alps is too long in one day for one driver: then a second driver comes along, and that is already in the price you see. If the coach leaves at night, a night surcharge may apply.

      Is the coach fitted with winter tyres or snow chains?

      Ask the coach company, and mention in your request that it is a winter sports trip.

      How long does a coach journey to the Alps take on average?

      That depends on the destination. Fill in your trip, then you see the distance and how long the coach takes.

      What does a ski trip by coach cost?

      A winter sports trip is a multi-day journey abroad: the distance, a second driver on the long driving days and the driver’s overnight stays all count. Enter your destination, then you see what coach companies charge for your trip.

      Is the price estimate I see final?

      No, it is a price estimate based on your route and group size, not a confirmation of availability. The coach company itself confirms the final price and availability after you have sent a no-obligation booking request.

      Does it cost anything to request a booking?

      No, requesting a booking is always free and without obligation. You are not committed to anything until the coach company has confirmed the final price and availability and you agree.
