We had a fun time as a family as our only way to experience snow this winter. We went at the end of February. There are two hills across the street from each other, one more steep and bumpy than the other. There is a shop nearby to purchase sleds.
On the first day, the snow was pretty good, and we got some distance. On the second day, the less steep slope was half mud and had a large hole in the middle.

Bringing your own sled is a must and reasonably priced plastic ones work very well, and can be found at the grocery store in the area. The slope has a few bumpy elements creating a fun filled ride. At the end of the sledding hill are cushion pads present to decrease harsh impact when kids come barrelling down the...
