Oberhof is the cradle of winter sports in Thuringia. Traces of winter sports in Thuringia can be traced back to the early 1900s.

Oberhof, as an Olympic training center, is Germany's sports training center for Nordic skiing and sledding and thus offers a rendezvous for great athletes. Numerous winter sports World Cups with a TV audience of millions, from biathlon to luge, offer professional sport up close.

Prominent Olympic champions have made Oberhof their home and can be found here. The professional sports facilities, such as the luge and bobsleigh track, the LOTTO Thüringen ARENA on the Rennsteig or the LOTTO Thüringen Skisport-HALLE Oberhof, which is unique in Central Europe and guarantees snow 365 days a year, can also be used by Oberhof guests and incentives.

Every vacation guest in Oberhof benefits from the Oberhof Card, with which numerous leisure activities can be used free of charge or at a discount.
