In total, there are approx. 11.5 km of piste and 7 lifts to use. Both, approx. 4 km long main runs, located on the snow-sure north-face and around lift Kaffeehorst, are especially popular with all guests. On the sun-piste there is even a small funpark available. Beginners and children can try themselves out on the pistes around the ski lift Hasselkopf.
Approx. 80 km from Thale, in the Goslar district Hahnenklee, lies the "ErlebnisBocksBerg". The lift pass "Bocksberg" offers a total of 5 descents with 4.3 km total length. These pistes are especially suited for beginners and families with children, but also pleasure skiers will feel happy here. For the little ones, there is a kiddie's lift with a 200 m long descent, which is perfect for some first swings in the snow. The ski area offers some beautiful pistes with various difficulty levels, as well as a 1.5 km long toboggan run - one of the longest in the Harz and also illuminated in the evenings. Modern snow-making systems ensuer great snow quality. The cosy Bocksberg hut, directly at the mountain station, provides for a magnificent panorama view.

Night skiing Thale
In good snow conditions the ski area Braunlage-Wurmberg also offers night-time skiing: Starting directly in Braunlage, the Rathaus lift takes winter sports enthusiasts up the mountain in the darkness - and you can ski down below the starry and moonlit sky for free! Night skiing is only possible on a few days per week. However, it is worth keeping ones' eyes and ears open for spontaneous announcements by the night skiing operator.Après ski Thale
