Sled
run

The elves’ favourite slope,
between fir trees and lanterns.

The story of the place

The happiest sled run in the world winds down the slopes of the North Pole. Lined with fir trees and lanterns, it runs from the summit to the heart of the village in a swirl of snow and laughter.

This is where the elves come to unwind after a long day at the workshop. They race down the run, alone or in a line, and challenge each other until nightfall.

The run also has its control centre, its repair workshop and its sled store: from old wooden models to the sleds of the future that inventor elves test before giving them to children!

“On the sled run, the best moment
is always the next ride down!”
Santa Claus
