Sledding near you

Enter your town above or use your location: you get the nearest sledding runs and slopes, each with today’s snow check. Runs with enough snow come first.

We use the snow depth that weather stations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland measure every day, and carefully infer each run: if a lower station has snow, the run above has it too; if a higher station is snow-free, so is the run below. We always name the station and its height.

On a meadow from about 15 cm, so the sledge does not drag on grass and stones. On packed forest tracks and prepared runs, 5 to 10 cm is sometimes enough – we show that as “marginal”.

Choose gentle slopes with a clear run-out and no road, stream or fence at the bottom, ride sitting with feet first and do not let small children ride alone. A helmet is sensible. Runs on forest tracks can be icy – walk them first.

Yes. The planner idea “sledding hill trip” picks the nearest run with snow, starts at the car park right at the run, factors in the time until dark and suggests a café for afterwards that is actually open then.

Yes – search, snow check, winter map and planner are free and ad-free.
