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
