I had a great time at the Big Mountain hostel during my snowboarding trip to Winterberg. The location was perfect, just a short 5-minute walk to the lifts, and the price was quite reasonable, plus the meals were decent. However, I did hear some complaints about the kitchen closing early and the one dining option nearby being far away at night, which could be an inconvenience.

The location is perfect, just a short 5-minute walk to the lifts, and the meals provided were good, especially with plenty of vegetarian options for my friend.

My experience at this resort was quite mixed. While the location is fantastic for anyone looking to hit the ski slopes, there were some issues with the service and dining options. The rooms were simple but adequate for the price, and it was a good value overall. However, the restaurant hours are quite limited, which was a bit inconvenient.
