There is a great range of activities to enjoy. Close to the Olympic ski jump is the toboggan track where you are towed up the hill on a button lift and have a thrilling run down the hill at speed - excellent fun for all!! Other activities include bobsleighing, dogsledding, night skiing, horse drawn sleigh rides, ice-skating and much more.
