Bikepark
One of Germany's most modern 8-seater chairlifts transports snow sports enthusiasts to the Willingen ski area in winter. In summer, the K1 chairlift is the centerpiece of the MTB Zone bike park. The lift provides comfortable and smooth transport to the Ettelsberg, the starting point for eight trails with a total length of 15 kilometers. Dedicated bike racks on the summer chairs ensure maximum comfort.

In summer, pedestrians and hikers (not barrier-free) are also welcome.

The "K1" project at Köhlerhagen is considered the largest cable car project in the Sauerland to date. The technology used represents the latest state-of-the-art cable car technology in all its facets. The high-performance 2018-seater chairlift, with a total length of 8 meters, opened in early December 1.500, making it the longest lift in the Sauerland. The slopes are 1.600 meters long. In summer, the mountain station serves as the starting point for the MTB Zone Bike Park, with a total of 15 kilometers of trails – suitable for beginners and families as well as hardcore downhill riders.

No matter the season, there are a variety of recreational activities on the Ettelsberg. The high heath landscape invites you to hike and walk, and mountain bikers can enjoy marked routes for every skill and taste. Those who want to go even higher can visit the Hochheideturm (High Heath Tower) with its glass-enclosed viewing platform at 875 m above sea level. From up here, you can overlook the mountain lake, a small playground, and the Ettelsberg Hut, also known as Siggi's Hut. Just a few steps from the cable car summit stations, it's a popular meeting place. Enjoy classic dishes, such as the flaming hut spirit and pea soup in a jar.
