In the winter, I’d strongly recommend snow-shoeing, Nordic skiing, ice skating, dog mushing, or just good old fashioned sledging. These activities offer a different pace to downhill skiing and really allow you to connect with the mountains. There are a plethora of knowledgeable mountain guides in the area who can help get your started in any of these activities. It’s also worth remembering that the Alps was a originally a summertime destination – a setting for many of the original health resorts - a place to recuperate, breathe clean air and to help people reconnect with themselves. Now the area is also a hub for hiking, paragliding, climbing, trail running and wild swimming to name but a few… It’s great to see how popular it’s becoming.
