4 original activities to do in the mountains this winter

In winter, you may be tempted to stay warm on the sofa of a superb mountain chalet, or to relax in its jacuzzi, but despite the cold and snow, you can enjoy a variety of sports and entertainment activities! From sledging to skiing, mountain holidays are a real breath of fresh air so don't let the low temperatures prevent you from enjoying your winter getaway to the fullest! 
Villanovo offers you some activities to consider during your stay in the snow. 
 

Ice skating

Ice skating

If you are not a skier or if you want to let your muscles relax for a day, opt for an afternoon at the rink! This activity can be a lot of fun, especially if you do it with family or friends. Between falls and pro figures, test your ability to slide on the ice as you slide on the snow while admiring nature under its white coat.
In the Northern Alps as far as Austria, have fun while you are in the mountains.

Snake gliss

If you are used to sledging for you and your little ones, try the snake gliss, a more fun version of the traditional sled. When the slopes close, run down the toboggan runs, in groups! The snake gliss is made up of several sledges attached to each other making the experience more fun! Be careful to maintain your balance so as not to overthrow your entire lineage. Collect memories with a variety of activities! 
 

ski Joëring

An activity prohibited for those who are sensitive to cold, ice diving is nevertheless an activity that will make your memories unforgettable and allow you to leave your comfort zone.
