Tobogganing

Grab a toboggan and slide down our specially groomed slopes, feeling the rush of the cool mountain air as you zoom through the snow. It’s a thrilling experience that brings out the child in everyone, whether you’re racing down the hill or leisurely enjoying the scenic views.

Suitable for all fitness levels, snowshoeing is a fantastic family activity that promises both adventure and tranquility.
