On our last day in Levi we again went skiing/snowboarding. It snowed the whole night before so that the slopes were kind of covert and we had the feeling of going deep snow skiing. Also during the day it went on snowing, but the view was a little bit better than on Thursday… Today we […]

The highlight of the day was the husky safari. The bus took us and 40 others to a husky ‘park’. We were divided into three groups that took a short trip of about 3 km one after the other. Again, one would be the driver in one direction and the other would drive back. That […]

We tried snowshoes this morning. It’s pretty nice to walk this way. There are winter walking tracks that are really nice and give a nice view over the landscape. And we had blue sky and lots of sun.

But aside from the fact that it’s all […]
