Skialpinism: Adrenaline and nature in one
The combination of hiking and skiing is on the rise. Just rent ski mountaineering equipment, head out on groomed trails or try freeriding off the slopes. This sport attracts mountain lovers with its freedom and challenge.
- Did you know that ski mountaineering will be part of the 2026 Winter Olympics for the first time? This only confirms its growing popularity.
Snowboarding: freestyle and downhill speed
Snowboarding is an icon of modern winter sports. Whether you're into freestyle tricks in the snowpark, fast downhill runs or deep snow, the sport has something to offer.
- Did you know that he didn't appear in the Olympics until 1998 in Nagano? Since then, its popularity has steadily increased and it has become a symbol of winter freedom.
Skiing and cross-country skiing: the timeless classics
Skiing and cross-country skiing are two of winter's most traditional activities. For those who want to stay active while enjoying the beauty of nature, these sports are ideal. If you are tempted by something unusual, try, for example, the night cross-country skiing trails, which are lighted and offer a unique experience. Modern GPS apps make it easy to find groomed trails in your area.
Extraordinary sports that will excite you
