Royal Christmas Fair (The Hague)
Nearly a hundred chalets under the trees of the Lange Voorhout, free, daily 12:00–21:00, 3–23 December.
1 hour: €23.50 online (€24.50 at the desk); 2 hours: €31.50 (€32.50). Family ticket for 2 hours from €84.95. Full hire set €16.50, helmet €3, gloves €5, ski clothing €12.50.
De Uithof is a large sports and leisure complex in The Hague with an indoor snow slope, a 400 m skating oval, karting and more. The slope suits first turns as well as practice before a ski trip, with lessons, full hire (skis or board, boots, helmet) and even ski clothing to rent. One- and two-hour tickets are slightly cheaper online than at the desk, and family tickets cover three or four people. Helmets are compulsory up to age 16. Tip: in winter, pair your ski session with skating on the oval next door, and don't forget gloves.
