Description
As soon as snow falls in the Eifel, the landscape is transformed into a winter paradise and you can go tobogganing, cross-country skiing or downhill skiing! The small ski areas in the Eifel have many advantages for winter sports fans: short journey times, a family atmosphere, cozy huts and great opportunities for tobogganing and cross-country skiing. There are numerous trails around the Monschau region where cross-country skiers can let off steam, for example in Lammersdorf, Eicherscheid, Kalterherberg, Höfen and Rohren. The "Krummer Ast" trail shown here is approx. 8 kilometers long and is located in the south of Monschau near Kalterherberg on the German-Belgian border.
Discover the Monschau region in winter and enjoy the crisp winter air in a landscape that, covered in hoarfrost, glistens in the sun as if by magic. If the weather cooperates, there will be plenty of snow in the Eifel, and the Monschau region—with its surrounding forests and meadows around the Monschau villages—will transform into a paradise for skiing and snow enthusiasts.
For example, in the Monschau-Kalterherberg area, you can choose from three different cross-country ski loop trails ranging from 5 to 11 kilometers in length, provided snow conditions allow for the use of a trail groomer.
- “Auf der Höhe” cross-country trail, approx. 5.0 kilometers,
- "Krummer Ast" cross-country trail, approx. 7.5 kilometers,
- “Windhaag” cross-country trail, approx. 10.5 kilometers,
The “Krummer Ast” cross-country trail shown here can be combined with the “Windhaag” and “Auf der Höhe” trails.
