Non skiers and children are also kept busy on Mount Hermon like the track-sled down a 950-yard route and the Toboggan-riding. At the top of the mountain you can view the scenery, the skiers and snow from the glass restaurant. It served some great soups and hot cocoa that will melt the chillness out of you in a hurry.

You can buy a ski pass for two, three or four straight days, or use the amazing package deals which include bed-and-breakfast, equipment rental and full entrance fees.
