2. Facilities

1) Snowy Rafting

• Location: Behind Snowy House at Snowy Land
• Restrictions: Under 24 months
• Usage Information: Children over 24 months but under 110cm must ride with a parent.

Snowy Rafting uses a large inflatable raft (life-raft style) that carries multiple people at once down a wide snow track. It is positioned close to the gondola exit, is one of the most popular rides, and is ideal for families or groups who want a shared, high-thrill but stable experience.

2) Snowy Racing High & Low Speed

• Location: Snowy Land
• Restrictions: Under 119cm in height (High Speed) / Under 109cm in height (Low Speed)
• Usage Information: Two-person sled, only users 120cm and above can ride.

*For the low-speed option, children between 110 cm and 120 cm can ride with a parent.

Snowy Racing is a “driver-style” tube/board sled with a steering handle, running on two separate slopes with about 20 ° and 30° gradients. It targets older kids and adults who want speed and control; height requirements are around 120 cm and up, with the steeper course reserved for taller riders for safety.

3) Snowy Kids & New Kids

• Location: Snowy Land
• Restrictions: Under 24 months
• Usage Information: Plastic sledding hill for the whole family, riders must be at least 110cm tall, and children over 24 months but under 110cm must ride with a parent.

Snowy Kids is a gentler sled hill using smaller, lighter sleds on a mild slope, which is suitable for families with kids. It’s designed for young children who are not yet tall or confident enough to ride Snowy Coaster or Racing, providing a safe space to practice sledding under parental supervision.

Snowy New Kids is a newly added children’s sled zone using dedicated, specially designed kids’ sleds for extra stability and safety. It focuses on younger family customers, updating the kids’ offering with fresher equipment and layout so small children can enjoy sledding in a clearly separated, easy course.

4) Snowy Tornado

• Location: Behind Snowy House at Snowy Land
• Restrictions: Under 24 months
• Usage Information: Four-person tube sled, riders must be at least 110cm tall, and children over 24 months but under 110cm must ride with a parent.

Snowy Tornado is a circular tube ride for several people that spins as it slides down the course, creating a rotating “tornado” effect. It is a group thrill attraction, more intense than Rafting because of the spinning motion, and is popular with kids and teens who enjoy dizzy, fun rides.

5) Snowy Coaster

• Location: Across from Snowy House at Snowy Land
• Restrictions: Under 110cm in height
• Usage Information: Korea’s longest tube sledding hill (250m), riders must be at least 120cm tall, children between 110cm and 120cm must ride with a parent.

Snowy Coaster is a long, traditional downhill sled course (tube or sled), designed for sustained speed over a 200 to 250 m‑class run. Children under about 110 cm are not allowed; those taller than roughly 110 cm can ride with parents, and from about 120 cm they can generally ride alone, making it a “big kids” and adult highlight.

5) Snowy Mini

• Location: Beside Snowy House at Snowy Land
• Restrictions: 110cm and above
• Usage Information: Toddler-only sledding area, only children over 24 months and under 110cm can use this area.

Snowy Mini is another beginner-friendly hill with a very short distance and low gradient, aimed at toddlers. It generally uses mini tubes or sleds and opens early in the season, helping the youngest visitors experience snow sliding without fear.
