Winter excursions

Hike for two days through the snow and make camp in the wilderness for one night.

The first time you have to muster up the courage, but then you’ll never want to stop: daredevils get the opportunity to hurtle headfirst down a toboggan run on the airboard.

“LeysinPark” is a magnet for freestyler fanatics and novices alike. The park is divided into different areas according to ability. Pros rave about the quality of the half pipe, as well as the wide range of jump lines and rails.

The journey is the reward: set against the stunning backdrop of the Engadin mountains, “Yoga on Snow” keeps guests moving and encourages a deeper understanding of the body.

Unusual, and all the more appealing for it: explore the snow-covered mountains around Lake Maggiore on touring skis and then relax under palm trees.

In the igloo village of Gstaad, simply getting close to nature and a feeling of comfort are equally important. What you end up with is a romantic night under a wintry starry sky.

All animal lovers will adore the huskies. On this trip, you get the rare opportunity to meet professional sled dogs up close. Or perhaps you want something a little more adrenaline-filled than hiking with the dogs?

These are the monster trucks of the biking world, only more colourful. The Pischa near Davos is the perfect place to experience the thrill of these unique bikes.

The Alaïa Chalet is THE meeting place for all freestyle fans who can’t get enough of the sport. During the day, they can be found launching themselves into the air from the half pipe in one of Switzerland’s biggest snow parks, then in the evening the training continues indoors.

Precipitous slopes, narrow tracks and valleys and peaks: learning the right technique to master a mogul slope catapults experienced skiers to the next level.

Driven by the wind, the skis glide across the ground: race silently and effortlessly over the wide expanses of the Jura steered by snowkite.

Don your helmet, carabiner and harness and clamber over bridges and wind your way along narrow paths through the snow-clad and sometimes icy Fee Gorge. A clear head for heights and a certain degree of courage will stand you in good stead for this tour.

A truly emotional winter experience: gliding through the Jurassic Freiberg mountains with huskies, appreciating the strength and exhilaration of the dogs – now that’s what you call a smooth ride in the far north.

An unforgettable experience for the whole family: all sorts of cute little animals can be fed by hand on the Eichhörnliweg.

The group will hike through the wintry forest on snow shoes, enjoying the tranquillity of nature and fascinating ice crystals, accompanied by mountain guide Markus Gerig from Göschenen. After the hike, an open-air bath in a heated wooden tub is just the ticket, with great views of the Damma Glacier.

Trudge through the snow to the mountain with your guide Dominik and enjoy a fondue on the summit.

Learning to cross-country ski is the perfect winter pastime for the whole family. Everyone can have fun and get involved. It’s also a handy winter skill to have.

One of the highest ice rinks in Europe awaits you against a mighty Alpine backdrop. Ice skating, curling or Bavarian curling: you can try them all at Alp Raguta. Enjoy typical Graubünden specialities in the mountain hut that can be found right next to the ice rink.

Stepping into the ski or snowboard bindings, holding the lead and letting a horse pull you across the snow-covered fields – this is skijoring.

Lace up your ice skates and enjoy the magnificent setting. Weather permitting, at Champex you can ice skate freely on the flat surface of the frozen lake in a location nicknamed “Little Canada”.

From Carì, guests can enjoy a bird’s eye view of the snow-covered Leventina region on a tandem paragliding flight.

The ski safari in Zermatt includes much more than just skiing. Those who take on the challenge cover more than 10,000 metres of altitude in one day. An impressive performance!
