Horseshoe Valley Resort has all you could wish for in a Winter resort. 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. If you're interested in other outdoor adventures there's snow tubing, fat biking, cross country skiing and ice-skating! If you want to take it easy and relax after a hard week there are heated pools nearby at Vettä Nordic Spa where you can relax in the warmth with the snow all around.
We're running a shuttle to the resort to the day - it's up to you how you spend it.
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 Valley Resort's website or on-site. Pricing can change week to week, so we encourage booking all of this beforehand on their website.
We'll be bringing everyone up together so you can spend the day as a group or head off in your own separate directions. Just be back in time for the shuttle home!
