Our journey begins at the peak, accessed by the Mountain Lift, winds past the Mountain Café, and follows the Tourist track all the way to the base of the ski center. The trip has a total drop of 630 meters and is almost 5 km long.
SkiPass, snowracer, and headlamp.

2. Dog Sledding (counts as two activities)
On this experience, you will learn what it’s like to be a dog musher. Join us in harnessing 5-6 eager huskies. We will teach you the “musher language” and you will be able to try being a musher yourself. Along with another person, you will take turns driving the sled and enjoying the ride as a passenger. The tour leader drives their own dog team in front and the participants’ team will follow. No previous experience with dog sledding is required.
