Groomed Snow Farm trails made family friendly
The pulk is designed to be towed on Snow Farm’s maintained trails, so parents can move at a steady pace while keeping the child sheltered in the sled.
Bring your youngest — made for children up to three
Pulk rentals are explicitly offered for towing children up to three years old, making trail access possible without leaving little ones behind.
Overnight option for hut guests
If you are staying in a hut, Snow Farm offers an overnight pulk rental option so gear or a child’s pulk can remain with you between sessions.
What the day feels like
What the half‑day feels like
A half‑day with a pulk at Snow Farm is largely about measured movement: collect and fit the sled, tow a sheltered load along groomed trails, and return to base. Families can plan anything from a brief tow to a longer outing within the operator’s half‑day window, and hut guests may take advantage of overnight rental arrangements.
