Environmental protection of the ski resort Postwiesen Skidorf – Neuastenberg
The Postwiese is an FFH area (FFH stands for Fauna = animal life, Flora = plant life, and Habitat = living environment). The protected mountain meadows and heathlands have been preserved to this day, not least because of ski operations. What used to be achieved by extensive grazing with sheep—keeping the trees short—is now managed by the ski area operators. Since they can only continue to operate economically with technical snowmaking, the snowmaking system was approved in 2002 despite the FFH status. The construction was supervised by building biologists; wherever pipelines had to be laid, the vegetation cover was carefully removed and replaced after construction.
Drag lifts may not be as comfortable, but they consume less energy per transported person than chairlifts.
Overnight guests can use buses and trains in the region free of charge with the Sauerland Card.
