Trails for Every Skill Level
Little Switzerland has beginner, intermediate, and advanced trails as well as three terrain parks with features varying in size and difficulty.
Beginner
Before going up the chairlift, it is best to start at our beginner area. This is located to the right of the chalet from the parking lot, past Chairlift 1 and the rope tow. There you have two options to get up the beginner area with our conveyor belt and handle tow. Once you feel confident enough, we recommend heading over to Chairlift 1 and heading right to take Easy Cheesy, which is our easiest way down and goes back into the beginner area. From there, we have many different options for beginners such as Turnpike, Sno Bowl, and Grandpa's Run.
Intermediate
Little Switzerland has a ton of trails geared towards intermediate riders with our wide variety of blue runs. You can find a few of these runs on the front side, but most are located on the back. Chairlift 4 is ideal for intermediate riders looking for a fun run.
Advanced
If you're looking for a steeper challenge, we encourage you to check out some of our black diamonds. Our two most popular are: Big Deal, located on the front side to the right off of Chairlift 1, and Shorty's, located on the backside. We just ask that you pay attention to our slow zones coming down these runs as they connect back with beginner areas.
Park Riders
Little Switzerland takes great pride in our three parks which offer a variety of features for any rider to enjoy. On the front side, located to the left of the main lodge, is our Switz 41 Park (large features for advanced riders) and Expedition Supply Park (medium-sized features for intermediate riders). On the back side is our Progression Park, which is the perfect place to practice and get comfortable on smaller features.
