Ski and snowboard slope
De Uithof is primarily known as one of the Netherlands' indoor ski and snowboard slopes. Based in The Hague, a stone's throw away from Kijkduin beach, you can ski or snowboard down the 400-metre-long piste 365 days a year. With four lifts, two ski tows and two strap lifts, the queues are short and you can enjoy the snow for a long time. For beginners ski and snowboard lessons can be booked and you can ski down the piste on your own in no-time. Ski and snowboard clothing and materials are obviously available for hire. If you don't feel like attaching skis, but still want to slide down the slopes, then go for the air tubes. Whatever you do, snow and fun at De Uithof will satisfy you!
