Ski lifts at the ski resort Willingen – Ettelsberg

With the Ettelsberg cable car, an eight-person gondola lift, the Willingen ski area offers the most comfortable lift in the entire Sauerland region, serving half a dozen fairly long slopes. The addition of the detachable eight-seater chairlift K1 Köhlerhagen significantly upgraded the lift facilities for the 2018/19 season. There is also the six-seater chairlift at Ritzhagen (with child safety features) for a comfortable ascent. Additional platter lifts, drag lifts, and conveyor belts complete the range of options.
