More than Skiing and Snowboarding: Discover Other Winter Sports to Enjoy the Snow to the Fullest In addition to skiing and snowboarding, there are many other winter sports that will let you make the most of the snow. Some might even take you all the way to Lapland—are you in? When people think about winter sports, their minds usually go straight to skiing. Maybe snowboarding comes to mind too, but that’s often where the list ends. However, winter brings many more exciting ways to enjoy the snow. Some of them, as we’ll see, require preparation and should be practiced under the supervision of an expert.
At Reserving, we bring you options to enjoy the classic snow sports—but also some ideas if you’re feeling a little more adventurous. We’ll take you all the way to Lapland, and whether you're there or at any of our featured destinations, we want you to have the best accommodation options so you can make the most of your snow-filled vacation.
The Most Popular Winter Sports
If you're looking to try something new during your next winter trip, you're in the right place. We love mixing sport and adventure, and we’re passionate about creating memorable experiences. That’s why we offer a wide range of affordable options, so you can stay active without stretching your budget. We’re always on the lookout for the best deals to keep your holiday fun and stress-free.
Skiing and snowboarding are undoubtedly the most popular snow sports, but there are many more—especially ones that aren’t yet widely practiced in the UK or the US. Take curling, biathlon or skeleton, for instance. There’s also ice skating and ice hockey (if you want to watch a match, there are great local teams you can check out depending on where you're travelling). And on the snow, there’s snowmobiling, dog sledding (mushing), snowshoeing—and if you’re feeling brave, even bobsleighing.
Other Winter Sports in the UK or the US
As we've just seen, there are plenty of winter sports beyond skiing—and many of them are best enjoyed with the guidance of a trained professional. Some even require a bit of practice or training beforehand.
Here are two ideas to get started: the first is a classic and suitable for all levels—a private snowboarding lesson at a major ski resort like those in Colorado, Vermont, or Scotland’s Cairngorms. The second option is more original and not very widespread in the UK or US—yet. We’re talking about mushing, or gliding through snowy landscapes on a sled pulled by dogs. Try it in a snowy resort in Alaska or Northern Canada. With a double sled led by a professional guide giving commands to the dogs, you’ll discover remote and magical corners few travelers ever see. You'll also get to enjoy a Lapland-style tasting experience inside an igloo for a truly immersive adventure.
Other Winter Sports Across Europe
One of the best ways to prepare for a trip to Lapland is by discovering its unique experiences and flavors. We step beyond the UK to continue exploring winter sports with a snowmobile ride through the Lapland forests near Äkäslompolo, in Finland’s northernmost region—an adrenaline-filled adventure you won’t forget.
Before heading back to the UK, we’ve got two more snowy experiences to suggest. First, try snowshoeing in Pal Arinsal, in Andorra. You can go solo, as part of a group, with or without a guide. And last but not least, the ultimate snow adventure: the Nordic Adventure Package in Andorra, available through Reserving. This bundle includes hotel accommodation and a fun snow activity. Choose between guided double dog sled rides or exploring the mountains on a snowmobile. And if you're traveling with kids, don’t miss the Tobotronc—an alpine coaster that’s guaranteed to be a hit with the whole family.
