Schmallenberg has roughly 26,100 residents and covers the largest municipal area in the Hochsauerlandkreis of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Rothaarsteig, a long-distance hiking trail running along the Rothaargebirge ridge, passes through the municipality. The town has a timber-frame tradition documented locally. Schmallenberg consists of 83 villages and hamlets spread across mountainous terrain, with no single dominant centre.
Winterberg is about 20 kilometres east. Meschede lies to the north. Lennestadt is to the west. Bad Berleburg is to the south. The Lenne and Latrop rivers drain the area. The Kahler Asten, Nordrhein-Westfalen's second-highest peak, is nearby. Forestry and tourism provide significant income alongside manufacturing.
