No word for it in English (en-gb), to my knowledge. Locally we'd refer to "the slope by the bridge" or "going up to Rayleigh Park". As some of us were doing yesterday :o)
Thanks all for the wonderfull anecdotes, since I only know how to use a sled here it's really usefull.
Might just add our used method to get the sleds uphill. Tie all sleds in a row behind a car (with non-skid chains) and drive uphill. We usually even ride on the sleds while pulled uphill.
How do you know the end of my story (20 sled trains down 2 km roads)?
Often, some farmer's tractor or merchant's van would tow the train back uphill.

As to the tags, the logic of my brain tells me:

piste=? or highway=piste   = the object followed by attributes:
sled=yes
ski=yes
slope=7%
length=240
assistance:first-aid=yes
leisure=yes   (leisure is not an object but what you're doing with one)
competition=no
drink=yes
tractor=no
more=probably

Or something like that.
But I'm certainly an iconoclast.

Cheers,

André.
