In addition, the Maerchenland (fairy tale land) Ski Kindergarten awaits its small guests, who delve enthusiastically into skiing while their parents enjoy the bigger ski slopes. The children can test their ability on the approx. 100 m long slope and can then ride the "magic carpet" people mover back to the top of the mountain. The snowboarders test their abilities on the rails and in the halfpipe while presenting an exciting and entertaining show. The percentage of snowboarders has increased continually over the past years - the halfpipe and the rails on the Wasserkuppe have taken this trend into consideration.
Note: The openening times are provided by the ski resort Wasserkuppe and can vary based on external conditions, day of the week, school holidays and public holidays.
