Your opportunity to adventure in the winter wonderland that is Horseshoe valley resort. We're running a shuttle to both the Vetta Spa and the ski resort for the day - it's up to you how you spend it. For those looking to ski or snowboard, you can register online in advance (they offer free beginner lessons) and spend a day on the slopes. It's also a great option for those who just want to try out something different to try out snowtubing, fat biking or ice skating. There are heated pools nearby at the Vetta pa if you're more interested in relaxing in the warmth with the snow all around.
If you wish to go skiing or snowboarding you will need to book rentals, ski passes, or equipment individually—those are additional costs and can be booked either on Horseshoe's website or on-site. Pricing can change week to week, so we encourage booking all of this beforehand on their website.
There is no hike or guiding for this adventure - we are providing a shuttle service to Horseshoe Valley Resort or the Vetta spa, for those who want to chill out in the spa or hit the slopes.

This custom map is georeferenced, meaning it will show you where you are on the map in the right software and lays out the rough path that we’ll be following. It’s opened with the Avenza app which must be downloaded and installed in advance of the adventure.
You should also download the What3words app - this makes it easy to share and find locations in the unlikely event that you get lost.
Dress for whatever activity you're planning to participate in and according to weather conditions. You're welcome to bring your own ski/snowboard gear in the van, just let us know in advance.
There are good food and drink options at the village but you may want to pack food and a hot drink regardless.
Booking of all equipment will needed to be done online or when at the location. If doing so online go to Horseshoe Valley Resort.
Winter sports involve a high degree of risk - participation is entirely at your discretion and we can't take any responsibility for any harmfrom activities that you choose to take part in.
We like to share some of the indigenous background of the areas we visit because these territories have rich histories that are easy to overlook. Indigenous communities have a connection to and respect for the land that has largely been lost since European settlement. As we strive to form a deeper connection with the land, we have much to learn from these communities. I use the Native Land map to learn more about these areas and find that developing a richer understanding leads to a greater enjoyment of the adventures.
