Other snow-related activities

There are associations and hire companies that allow you to have a go at other sports - snowscooting, yoonering, snowkiting, tobogganing, disabled skiing, etc. - here in the Chalmazel area.

Snowscooting and yoonering

Have you ever come across snowscooting? This is a vehicle which is inspired by BMX (bicycle motor-cross). It looks deceptively like a scooter and is made up of a frame, handlebars and two boards. The great thing about it is that there is no learning curve, so it is a great way to have fun on the snow.
