Palladium Sports Centre

The Palladium Sports Centre offers a wide varity of activiteis: ice skating, curling, swimming, tennis, fitness classes, gym, wellness (massages) and physio.

Paragliding

Paragliding is a very popular Alpine activity, and is such a great way to get a completely different perspective of the slopes that you have been skiing – a bird’s eye view to be exact!

Ski Guiding-Touring

Want to make the most of the mountains? A guide can do just that – taking you to the places that you did not know existed, and missing out on those busy lift queues. Or if you fancy something more adventurous you could go ski touring – skin up and then steadily stride into the vast backcountry, then ski back down through untouched powder. Ski Touring is only recommended for high-intermediate to advanced skiers.

Snowkite Surfing

Snowkite surfing is a new, highly adrenaline fuelled sport. You are attached to a kite which allows you to speed over the land, gliding above the powder and allowing you to catch the biggest air that you could possibly imagine! This is a must for all adrenaline junkies.

Snowshoeing

Easy to learn, simple to use, the perfect way to explore nature at its wildest far from beaten track and groomed slopes… these are just a few examples that explain the growing popularity of snowshoeing. Whether you choose from a simple half-day outing or a challenging daylong trek, this is a sport for anyone who loves the mountains in their pure and natural state. With a little luck, you may even happen upon some of the shy mountain animals.
