On top of the events we've got planned for the festival, there's plenty of things you can do in and around the resort...

Dog Sledding

Also known as mushing, dog sledding is a great way to see the forests of Seturia without working up a sweat. You can also request longer rides or book an evening expedition with dinner afterwards.

Costs: €19 for one, €36.50 for two or €44 for three people.

Snowmobiling

If you thought skiing or boarding was a buzz, wait 'til you try snowmobiling! These skidoos take you around the Seturia valley and you can combine excursions with lunch or dinner and arrange races if you're in a group.

Costs: €51.50 for one, €64.00 for two people sharing a skiddo. Prices are for a 30 minute ride. Longer rides are also available.

Snow Shoeing

Ideal for non-skiers who want to have fun in the snow or anyone else wanting a break from their skiis or board, snow shoes allow you to walk on the white stuff without sinking in. You can go on your own or in groups, with or without guides.

Costs: €32.50 to hire a guide for 1-2 people, €38 for 3-4 people or €47.50 for 5-6 people. Snow shoe hire is extra.

Helicopter Tours

If you've never been in a helicopter before, this is the place to do it. The choppers leave from the car park at the top of the gondola and make a stunning ten-minute circuit through the snow-capped valleys.

Costs: €60 per person for a 10 minute flight.
