December Snow fun in/near Nuremberg

Returning to Nuremberg for Christmas market December 18-21. We did Dresden last year and spent a day in the Erzgebirge at Altenberg, and the kids really enjoyed sledging on the slope there, with the magic carpet etc. Is there anywhere near Nurmeberg that would be good to go for the kids (5 and 3) to have fun in the snow and do some sledging? The plan is for a day trip on the Sunday. Fichtelgebirge keeps being suggested as the only real option but I assume there is something closer. We won%26#39;t be skiing.



Appreciate any advice.

You need heaps of good luck to have snow at lower altitudes. The hill chains around Nürnberg are much lower than Erzgebirge. There may be snow in, for example, the hills of Franconian Switzerland, even in the city itself, but probability is not great. Fichtelgebirge is indeed the closest higher mountain range. Check weather conditions when you are there and then decide. Good luck!

Fichtelgebirge (and Erzgebirge) are a lot more snow safe than Nuremberg.
