Little Switzerland was a ski resort in Slinger, Wisconsin with 15 runs, 5 chairlifts and 2 rope tows, featuring a front side and a back side to the hill, with different attractions on each side, and a Bavarian Bar Room at the bottom of the hill, with snack bar and kitchen service. It opened on the same day as the Pearl Harbor attack, December 7, 1941 with its last day of operation occurring on March 10, 2007, having served southeast Wisconsin for over 65 years.[1]
Its equipment was auctioned off on August 17, 2007. In May 2011, it was reported that the former ski hill was sold to new owners and will reopen later this year.[2]
