Sledding & Sightseeing

Fresh snow. Beginner laps. Snow play magic. And views from the top.

New for 2026: thanks to our brand new Snow Factory, we’re opening earlier than ever from 29 May, with snow on the ground even when winter’s still finding its rhythm.

  • 29 May–12 June: Early Winter operations (10am–3pm)
  • From 13 June: Full mountain opens as usual (9am–4pm)
