★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 32 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $105Top rated

Meet Paul or Arman downtown at 9 a.m. for a five-hour mountain outing with transport, snowshoes, winter trails, forest views, and hot cocoa. The pace suits beginners, and guides may adapt the route when snow conditions change.

“What an amazing day! Surpassed our expectations. We went with our two boys (8 and 10) and they loved every minute. We had great conditions!! So much snow! As the conditions were great and the group was keen, we went off the beaten track - a true adventure! Not at any point did we feel unsafe in Paul’s very knowledgeable company! Our sons are used to hiking but I think most active 8-10year olds would love this experience!! 100pc recommend!”

We had a lovely young girl that looked after us all night, she was helpful, friendly and a great bubbly personality, so Thank you Allysandra! The evening was so much fun with music and dancing, great wine and excellent food. A wonderful pre Christmas evening so far away from home!”
