Ski areas Hessen

Hesse is located in the heart of Germany. When fresh snow falls, it’s an excellent choice for a skiing weekend or a full week of winter activities. The mountains in Hesse are not particularly high, so snow reliability can vary. However, as the most densely forested state in Germany, Hesse also offers fantastic opportunities for cross-country skiing and winter hiking.

Part of the Sauerland region extends into Hesse, with Willingen being the largest ski resort in the area. It’s an ideal spot for beginners, families, or those looking to enjoy a relaxed day on the slopes. In the southwest of Hesse, near Gersfeld, lie the ski areas of the Hessian Rhön – small but charming resorts that provide a truly authentic winter sports experience. Winter sports in Hesse combine natural beauty, accessibility, and a peaceful atmosphere – perfect for a refreshing winter escape.
