Winter holiday in the Harz Mountains
- Do I need winter tyres and snow chains?
- Can we rent a sledge at the hotel?
- Where are the next possibilities to go cross-country skiing, skiing or tobogganing?
Basically, it is obligatory in Germany since the 4th of December 2010 to have the right tyres on your vehicle when there is snow slush, packed snow, black ice etc, like mud and snow tyres.
In the Upper Harz snow chains aren´t generally obligatory but sometimes it is the case that you have to use them to drive a specific road like the B4 from the direction of Bad Harzburg or Braunlage at Torfhaus for example. In summary, you should never get on the road without the proper winter gear. Otherwise the drive can become quite dangerous.
You are welcome to rent a wooden sledge at the hotel if available. Our staff at the reception will give you more information and lets you know about the costs.
In winter on the outskirts of Bad Lauterberg you have access to the large cross- country skiing trail area of the southern Harz which is 29 miles long and includes an almost 985 ft.-long ski slope with a ski tow lift. Some variety is provided by one toboggan run and many cleared trails for a lovely winter hike.
Bigger winter sports areas are in Braunlage or Saint Andreasberg for example, you can reach both places within 20 minutes by car.
