Dune Buggy Tours
If it’s too cold for skiing, consider taking a guided winter dune buggy tour. You’ll take an exciting 90-minute ride through the woods, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery that includes views of the surrounding forest and nearby lakes.
The staff is friendly and the equipment is both tough and dependable.
Canopy Tours
For the ultimate adrenaline rush, make reservations to take part in a winter canopy tour. This activity is divided into four separate ziplining courses, each of which varies in difficulty. You’ll be under the watchful eye of instructors that will teach you all you need to know about snap hooks, pulleys and lanyards.
You’ll climb ladders, cross bridges and navigate various obstacles, while gradually getting used to higher altitudes. Before you know it, you’ll be sliding across the forest on cables that are 20 meters off the ground.
