Sledges for adults and kids

[Blimeyitscoldtoday]

Where do you get these from please?

Dh to go on with Dd, 6, is it the sort of thing like below

Also, we’re going to a ski resort (not to ski, just to stay and play in snow) do we take a sledge or are there sledges there?

Anyone

Our local Home & Garden type independent shop has them! Do you have anywhere like that near you? Not sure about online though 😬

wherever I’ve skied in Europe there’s been somewhere to buy or borrow sledges. Where are you going?

I wouldn’t reccomend packing/taking a plastic one like above - likely to break surely? Or you’ll have to pay for it to go in the hold?

I've got some in the loft similar to these

I probably got them from Argos tbh

But look on Amazon

We had snow one year and it was impossible to find any type of sledge but the year after there were more to be had to I made sure we had some and as luck would have it it did snow again so we got use out of them

We’re driving, it’s Sierra nevada

If your ski resort has walking and toboggan paths, you will be able to hire sledges and toboggans, in different styles to suit your requirements and the snow conditions, just ensure you have good snow boots and ideally a ‘snow-skirt’ on your jacket. Toboggan styles include single person of two-person, child seats, plastic or wooden, simple or ‘racing’ styles. Just be careful, stick to the managed paths and toboggan areas and be aware of other people. Oh and make sure your travel insurance covers you for it.

As for ski resorts you should easily be able to rent some

And bobsleighs which are so much better down a ski slope for a non skier

They'll rent all sorts to suit that are much more substantial than the photo you've posted

Whilst you're all there though why not all join ski schools to learn the basics it'll be really fun

I used to love the kiddie ski groups I joined as a little kid it was so much fun. Whilst my parents skied then drank schnapps halfway down the mountain in the ski huts.

The ski chalet we stayed in had cheap sledges like that, it fitted my 3YO perfectly and was great for dragging him to restaurants. An adult male wouldn’t fit, as proven by my teen nephews’ late night antics which left the sledge broken 🙄. If the resort has a toboggan path then they’ll rent the toboggans and they will be proper ones that can take an adult.

Some ski resorts insist you use their own equipment as they are to a set standard, check it out
