Outdoor
activities continue year round. With the onset
of winter, there are eleven ski resorts within
a short transfer from us offering 260 runs and
260 km of cross country skiing tracks.
If this seems a bit too energetic, then you can
always try your hand at snow-shoeing or husky
dog sledging.
Some of the nearby ski stations include:

2,515m and 100km of slopes. There are over 53 ski runs
