Airboarding is the perfect activity for those who like speed and excitment! An airboard is an air-filled sledge with fixed handles. You lie on your stomach and use your body weight to steer and control the speed. Your guide will give you instructions on how to control the airboards as well as drive you up the slope each turn using snow scooters and sledges. From 10 years an upwards. We recommend wearing winter outdoor clothes and snow boots. Get the most out of your airboarding experience with a private session. We offer private airboarding sessions every day throughout the winter season. Great for solo travellers, families, and small groups of up to 6 people.

Rafting is a popular summer activity, and now you can raft in winter also! This however, is rafting with a twist. Substituting a river for a banked snow channel, this is the perfect activity for all you adrenaline sport enthusiasts. Snow rafting is a fun activity for all the family, both big and small (from 7 years). The thrill of jumping into the rafting boat and heading down the snowy slopes, has put a big smile on all the hundreds of participants who have taken the trip on our Snowrafting course. After completing several trips in the raft, guests will be able to relax around the fire in the tee-pee with a hot drink. All participants can borrow a helmet from us, or you can bring your own. Remember to wear clothes according to the weather conditions (i.e. clothes you would wear for skiing or snowboarding). Hat and gloves are a "must". Ski boots are not allowed to be worn, rather, we recommend wearing winter boots or snowboarding boots.
