Steinhofwiese Schlittenfahrt

Steinhofwiese is one of Vienna’s most popular open hills for winter sledding. Located in the 14th district near the Otto-Wagner-Areal, this wide meadow transforms into a lively snow landscape as soon as winter arrives.

During the warmer months, Steinhofwiese is known for its expansive lawns and open views over the city. In winter, however, it becomes a favorite destination for sledding (“Schlittenfahrt”), attracting families, groups of friends, and anyone looking to enjoy a classic snowy day outdoors.

Atmosphere

Steinhofwiese in winter offers:

• A broad, natural hill ideal for sledding
• Wide open space with panoramic city views
• A lively but friendly winter atmosphere
• Plenty of room for both active fun and relaxed watching

After fresh snowfall, the hill fills with people pulling sleds uphill, children racing down, and others simply enjoying the winter scenery. Despite its popularity, the area feels open due to its size and elevated position.

Why Add It to Your Route

• One of Vienna’s well-known sledding hills
• Beautiful winter views over the city
• Family-friendly winter activity
• Easy access within the 14th district

Steinhofwiese Schlittenfahrt is a seasonal highlight rather than a year-round park experience. On snowy days, it offers a simple and authentic way to enjoy Vienna outdoors — active, social, and shaped by winter.
