Winter sports are constantly evolving and new sports activities are regularly being created.This ensures your next holiday in the snow is an unforgettable experience.
Snowbiking
The snowbike—a cross between a bicycle and a ski—guarantees pure fun and a unique skiing experience for snow fans above six.Snowbikes can be used on well-cared-for slopes(斜坡) and riders navigate the slopes with the additional help of short foot skis.And they can be ridden without the rider having previous experience.
Freeriding
There is no other winter sport that gets you closer to nature.Due to the truly unaffected character of the slopes, snow and weather conditions have to be taken into special consideration when you're freeriding.Therefore, it is very important to be accompanied by a professional guide who knows the skiing area inside out and who is able to correctly assess the weather conditions.
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for those who want to explore the untouched winter landscape.The snowshoes distribute the weight of the person carrying them over a larger area so that the feet only sink lightly into the snow.Handling snowshoes is easy and does not require any previous experience：Simply fasten your snowshoes, pick up your sticks and off you go!
Snowtubing
Snowtubing is an activity for winter fans of all ages and involves sliding down a snowtubing slope in a rubber tire.Snowtubing tracks are often located close to a ski lift.This gives people the opportunity to immediately go back up the mountain after the ride.The activity is the perfect and fun end to a day of skiing.
