Brunssum: Indoor Skiing

Are you ready for some fun in the snow? There are indoor skiing/snowboarding slopes nearby! Snowworld is a chain with several indoor slopes in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France. The closest is Snowworld Landgraaf, which at 400m is the longest indoor track in the Benelux region, and is only 12 minutes drive from JFC Brunssum. It also offers lessons, sledding, food, partying, and children's holiday camps. 

https://www.snowworld.com/nl/landgraaf

The British community at Brunssum also has their own ski club! Members get access to Snowworld Landgraaf three times a week, as well as access to Beaver Creek Water Park for wakeboarding in the summer. They can also take guests skiing! Annual membership is €150. There is a short waiting list, as it has limited spaces. Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCM5XJxLt2Gtu6C8mBIpwF31b-OiGIE9fnxVElqK6Ry5-xVg/viewform
