Exciting Snow Activities in Europe this Winter

It's easy for your mind to drift to old stand-bys like skiing or ice skating when you think of snowy pastimes for wintertime fun. Perhaps that's because you've never gone on a snowmobile safari in Sweden. We're certainly big fans of exciting snow activities, so here are some of our favourites for when the thermometer takes that turn below zero.

Tobogganing

Release the inner-child in you! You don't need a snowboard, skis or even much skill to have a blast zipping down a snowy alpine slope. Take a train to Bergün, Switzerland where you'll find some of the best tobogganing Europe has to offer. If you've got a need for speed, Hunderfossen in Norway may be a better bet.

Curling

If you've ever been mesmerised by the frantic sweeping of olympic curlers directing the course of a large granite stone that was sent sliding across the ice moments before, it's time to stop spectating. Scotland is the likely origin of this strange sport, so why not head to one of the country's 22 curling facilities to give it a try yourself this winter?
