I'm taking my 5yr old son to Pamps in Feb. He'll be a bit to young to ski but wants to go tobogganing. Where are the best slopes for this in Pamps please?
Cheers

There were lots of kids on bum boards and toboggans at the bottom of the 3 man lift in the Malina area last year.

Thanks Nicky that's a great help. It will save alot of timewasting when we get there. I presume we buy or hire the bum boards/toboggans somewhere nearby?

Theres actually a great place beside Daks/ snekenka and to the back of the bowling alley at the perilick.

Natural big slope with large flat valley and no trees. I remember kids ( and adults) going onto it in the evenings afetr the slopes had closed.

Where you staying?

When I was there last year you could buy a bum board for 6 lev and hire a sledge for 10 lev for the day. It might have gone up a bit this year though. We hired our sledges from a place at the mid station. Our kids were quite happy with a bum board though.

Ahh Dan, you know me too well. I wasnt but wish i was.( that would have been interferring with my leisure and apres ski time )

in regards of hiring no need. Buy a wee bumboard in the shops under the perilick and you can use it all week for less than the cost of one hire.

If you ask at the ski hire shop at the Malina they will kit you out with bum boards and let you know of special kids events that usually take place at about 4pm
