Smart-Living
A practical base just outside Winterberg, with ski storage and parking on the house
A place to stay in Winterberg
Smart-Living is a smoke-free hotel sitting just outside the village of Winterberg, in Germany's Sauerland ski country. It keeps things simple: soundproofed double rooms with private bathrooms, free parking on site, and storage space for ski gear. The Winterberg ski season runs from mid-December to late March, and the property suits travellers who plan to spend their days on the slopes or trails rather than in the hotel. Pets are welcome, family rooms are available, and staff speak German, English and Dutch.
Who this stay suits
Expect a straightforward, functional stay with clean soundproofed rooms and the basics covered, rather than frills or on-site dining.
Best for
- skiers on a budget
- travellers with a car
- guests bringing a dog
- families needing simple rooms
Less suited to
- anyone wanting to walk straight onto the slopes
Just outside the village
The hotel stands just outside Winterberg village, so you drive or ride in for the lifts, shops and restaurants rather than stepping out into them. A garden with BBQ facilities gives the property some outdoor space of its own in the warmer months.
Soundproofed double rooms
The Double Room covers 23 m² with one queen bed, an attached bathroom with shower, a flat-screen TV and soundproofing. A socket sits near the bed, and hypoallergenic rooms are available on request. Linens, towels and free toiletries come standard.
Set up for ski trips
Ski storage on site means wet gear stays out of the room, and express check-in and check-out keep arrival and departure quick. Free parking removes the usual Winterberg winter headache of finding a space near the slopes.
