About

Little Switzerland is a ski hill on Cedar Creek Road in Slinger, just off I-41 about 30 miles northwest of Milwaukee. It first opened in 1941 and was fully remodeled in 2012, so the base chalet is newer than the hill's age suggests, with a full-service restaurant, bar, game room and pro shop. There are 18 runs across both sides of the hill, served by a mix of chairlifts, rope tows and a handle tow, plus a big beginner area that makes it a common place to learn. Snowmaking and night skiing mean it runs through the winter regardless of natural snow. Freestylers get three terrain parks with rails, boxes and jumps; the back side holds the only real advanced run. Snow tubing is here too, which makes it an easy family outing even if not everyone skis. Note it's a winter operation now — the downhill bike park that once ran in summer closed in 2023.

I went on a 50+° day and it was still pretty good snowboarding. It was pretty busy, but if you're experienced enough to use the tow rope etc. you can get a lot of good runs in. Good experience over all.

This is a nice hill with a cozy lodge to hang out in and sip a drink or grab a bite to eat. It's also great for watching people on the slopes, with a really fun large jump you can see people do some really cool stuff (or eat snow). The last time I had food here I did like it. It's a bit more expensive but I understand it because of the convenience. The hill has a few nice runs and a lot of rails and boxes in various locations to work on jumps and grabs. There are plenty of options for beginners and some challenges for those who are more adventurous. I like the bunny slope with two really nice magic carpets that make getting little kids up the slope much easier. This is one of the larger hills in the area without needing to drive another 3+ hrs from the greater Milwaukee area. Staff are friendly and overall a nice vibe.

Used to larger hills but had high hopes for Little Switzerland and was left a little disappointed. Lift lines 20/30 mins with 60 second runs, not worth the wait times, and dangerous downhill traffic. Front desk employees were rushing and rude. Rented a snowboard for my son and was impressed by the knowledge and friendliness of the staff in this area. Cafe food over priced for being in a warmer light all night. Wouldn’t go out of the way to visit again.

Excellent place. I only gave 4 stars, because I used to like it more when they were open all year round. Best place for skiing with the kids. I love the gift shop.

Never skied or boarded here before and got season passes with my daughter for the year. Went out on Saturday late day and it was great. Scanning technology is super fast/efficient, even if the lines are longish with so many people wanting to be out on the slopes. Looking forward to making this a weekly event and even utilize the tow rope - will be helpful in Colorado come spring @ Arapahoe where they have a tow rope moving up to Montezuma Bowl. Great training and place to spend some time close to MKE.
