About the event
Willingen, on the border of Hesse and the Sauerland, is known for the Ski Jumping World Cup on the Mühlenkopfschanze, but also for its slopes on the Ettelsberg. The Ettelsberg gondola, the eight-seat K1 chairlift and the six-seat Ritzhagen chairlift form the backbone of the area. Floodlit skiing runs on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6.30 to 9.45 pm, never on Saturdays, and only when the snow is stable; dates are announced at short notice. Several ski schools and rental shops sit at the foot of the slopes. Tip: the early-bird ticket from 8.30 to 11 am is the cheapest, and for satnav simply enter 'Willingen (Upland)' or Zur Hoppecke 5.
