The One Epic Slide In Tennessee You Need To Ride This Winter
Gatlinburg is located on the east side of Tennessee, and has proven in recent weeks its stunning resilience and sense of community. Multiple tourist sites have opened in the aftermath of a raucous wildfire that swept the area just weeks ago, and that includes the famed Alpine Slide in Ober Gatlinburg. Known as one of the most exciting enterprises for a kid on the east side of the state, this winter, you need to make it a priority.
The Alpine Slide is located in the Ober Gatlinburg theme park in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Gatlinburg Ski Resort opened in 1962, and has since grown to be the 5th most visited spot in Tennessee. It's been open year round for years and proves over and over again to be WELL worth your time.
It is open based on the weather, and touts a great ride for kids of all ages. It is $7 a person to ride, or 2 attraction tickets if you buy a book of them.
The entire track runs 1800', and twists, turns, dips and dives through the wooded park. There are two tracks, so riding twice (maybe three times?) would be ideal for the whole experience.
Ober Gatlinburg is a Tennessee tradition, upholding wintertime fun in a state that too often falls into humidity inducing heat. Take a trip, take a ride - treat yourself. This ain't your neighborhood playground slide, and it's one you'll never forget.
What an interesting ride – let’s try it out ourselves!
It’s a magical slide, don’t you think? It’s most definitely one that your children will fall completely and totally in love with. Plus, if you love the outdoors you should check these amazing things to do.
