4.00This trip didn't disappoint, our driver was great and the snow location was magical. A little confusion about pick up address but we figured it out in plenty of time.
We had such a great time...

5.00We had such a great time sledding. The snow was perfect—soft and just enough to make every slide super fun. The hills weren’t too big, so it was safe for the kids but still exciting for the adults. It was honestly one of the best spots for our first time Our whole family had a blast running up and zooming down the slopes together. There were lots of laughs, some friendly races, and plenty of snowy fun. The views around the area made everything feel even more special — you really get that fresh mountain vibe. On top of that, the service was great! Everyone there was friendly and helpful, which made the day even better. If you’re looking for a chill place to spend a snowy day with family or friends, Viator is definitely worth checking out. Just bring along good vibes and warm clothes, and get ready for some good, old-fashioned winter fun!

4.00Viator had the wrong address to meet up at. Tried to contact driver to no avail. Accidentally came across the van speaking to other people waiting as it was 1.00. Super stressful way to begin.
Very good
