Where are the snow sledding slopes this year?
Everyone enjoys some snow sledding right? The memories of childhood flood back while wooshing down the hill on your backside. Here is some spots you can go to if you wanna enjoy it here in Korea.
Everland & Everland Snow Sledding Slopes
Everland Snow Buster, located in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, has a wide variety of high-speed sledding runs. There are three slopes according to difficulty: Jungfrau, Eiger, and Monch Kid’s Sled. Eiger, in particular, offers twice the exhilaration with its 200-meter curved slope. Family visitors can share a two-person sled or fly down the slopes solo in one-person sleds. The lift then tows riders back to the top of the run while they sit comfortably on their tube sleds, giving a relaxing ride to the top of the hill. Heaters are placed around the area for riders to warm up when needed.
As the Everland all-day ticket covers the Snow Buster, you may also want to enjoy the other fun rides of the amusement park after enjoying your sled ride. At night, fantastic light displays help create a unique evening atmosphere throughout Everland. Everland is a large-sized theme park that holds more than 4.5 million pyeongs of land housing an animal zoo, amusement park, snow sledding slopes, botanical gardens and more. Korea’s largest theme park lives up to its reputation, as it dresses the whole park in a wondrous illusion even down to the part-time cleaning employees, wearing cute uniforms. The colorful fantasy world of Everland provides an enormous array of events and rides along with sledding at the Everland Snow Sledding Slopes, and remains truly a must-visit for those desiring to fully feel the sensations of Korea’s winter.

Seoul Land Santa Sledding Hills
The Santa Sledding Hills at Seoulland, located in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, is the ultimate experience for a family winter outing. This years concept is focused around a cartoon character called Larva. Flat plastic snow sleds provide high-speed fun. For safety, separate courses have been created for adults and children. The children’s slope, where parents may ride sleds with their children, is the most popular among families. Without an automated lift to take you up the hill, you may bring your own sled and walk up to the top for another run.
At the playground adjacent to the slope, you can enjoy winter fun while making a snowman or having a snowball fight. The playground also has a snow sledding ride area exclusively for toddlers and young children. The all-day pass for Seoulland covers the Santa Sledding Hills, but the general admission ticket does not.
