With many kilometers of groomed ski trails and cross-country ski runs, Suhl and its districts have a challenging and relatively snow-sure winter sports area. The Salzberg in Goldlauter-Heidersbach, also known as one of the "blackest slopes north of the Alps", also offers alpine enthusiasts the best conditions. Special attractions in the district of Vesser include the cross-country ski trail garden and one of the largest natural ski jumps in Germany.
