 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anybody been?
A group of 18 of us (10 kids 8 adults) are heading there by car and ferry in Feb half term (get there friday feb 10).
They've had snow 11 out of last 12 years but typically struggling the year we choose to go!
Anybody got experience of the place? Off the beaten track I know and not really and English resort (mainly Dutch, apparently!) but any feedback would be vvv welcome!
First post, so please be gentle!
Mark.

mark mcnulty, Welcome to snowHeads and thank you for introducing me to a place I had never heard of and didn't realise had skiing. I supect you might be short of replies as I think I might not be alone in my ignorance. Hope it works out for you.

I hadn't heard of Willingen in Sauerland either. According to their web site (only seems to be in German or Dutch, can't get the English to work) there isn't any skiing presently but hopefully that will change by February. Trust it will all work out for you

Hi mark mcnulty, Welcome to snowheads. I have Dutch friends that have been there - they go to Winterberg which from the map looks like the same area as you are going to - and say it is fine provided there is enough snow. Of course it's not the Alps - more like the Pennines here I think - and it can get crowded at weekends and holidays, But most Dutch and German school holidays fall the following week I think to coincide with Fasching so you should be ok. I'm sure you'll have fun. They get very few English visitors and there will be a big novelty element for you- and them. Thumbs pressed for the snow as they say there.

Thanks for such a warm welcome to the forum.
The skiers among us are ok with drag lifts and the absolute beginners will be ok in the "kids zone" with the travelators.
Got both "thumbs pressed" 24/7 for snow!
Great site btw - lots to read and some great posts, so well done mods for a great site!
