@ Dashing Through the Snow fancy and Lucky have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Ski & Skate Today's trip is on a modern train with spacious seats and large windows to enjoy the passing winter scenery. The train's first stop by a frozen lake allows the pets the opportunity to stretch their legs with a little skating! Let's hope there are no frozen paws from this adventure! The trip then proceeds to skiing grounds with steep snowy slopes, cable cars, chair lifts and an Olympic ski jump! The pets can also turn their paws to snowboarding if they wish. The pets will meet a cute little critter also trying to ski. Back on board the train at the end of an action-packed day, the pets will have the thrill of seeing the Northern Lights as they travel home in the setting sun to that night's lodging. There they will enjoy a warming milky coffee and a bowl of hot soup by the wood-burning stove in the dining room, while admiring the snowy scene outside. Dashing Through the Snow While an aeroplane might get you to your final destination more quickly and efficiently, nothing can surpass the romance and sightseeing opportunities of a journey by train. Just try to make sure you get a window seat to capture the breath-taking views of snowy peaks!

@ McCabe's Forest Rail Track “Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, fancy?” said Whisper. "It looks fantastic!" "I'll get my camera ready," said fancy. McCabe's Forest Rail Track Cold, bracing snowy weather is grand in theory. However, if your paws start to go numb and the chill creeps its way through your fur, it can start to lose its attraction. The answer is a train journey, where you can look out across sweeping white vistas or forests of trees lightly trimmed with snow, without having to get your scarf on!
While wandering in Winter, you met Whisper.

@ Frozen Lake Rink "It's turned a bit cold, fancy, I'm going to put my beanie hat on," said Hershel. "Good scheme! I'll dig my scarf out as well," said fancy. Frozen Lake Rink Nowadays rinks of artificial ice are commonplace in all countries. In former times skating could only be enjoyed when the weather was cold enough to freeze a lake or river to thick ice, allowing skaters to enjoy a game of curling or ice hockey or just enjoy pirouetting on the chilly, frozen surface!
While wandering in Winter, you met Hershel.

@ Steep Alpine Sweep Maggie Moo and fancy were chatting about the concept of hygge. "Apparently the Dutch have a word for it, too," said fancy. "Gezelligheid". "I guess we could say 'cosiness', fancy? Even if it's not quite the same?" Steep Alpine Sweep Being in the mountains has a huge benefit on both our physical and mental health. Skiers will talk about the adrenalin rush of the slopes but also the pleasure gained from being in nature and having social interaction. Beyond the physical benefits, exposure to the natural surroundings of the mountains during exercise appears to provide an additional boost to our psychological well-being and aids in recovering from stress.
While wandering in Winter, you met Maggie Moo.

Snowboarding through awesome mountains evokes a myriad of emotions, which are at a natural high at altitude – who better to share it all with than one’s fellow pets?

@ Ski Row “It's embarrassing to be staggering round the skating rink trying to get used to the boots and a young lemur sails past doing a pirouette, Sev," grumbled fancy. "Practice makes perfect, fancy!" responded Sev. Ski Row After a tiring but exhilarating day on the slopes, it's time to doff our skis and enjoy the après ski evening, where we will cosily plot our next ski adventure! What plans we make! It's not necessary to have a lively party; a quiet hot milky coffee with two or three friends after a day's fun on the slopes gives us the chance to bond and get ready for the morrow's pleasures.

@ Snow Drift Ski Lift “If there's time at the end of the day when we get back to our accommodation, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Flora said, offering fancy a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself. “That sounds like a good plan, Flora!" said fancy. "Doing something relaxing is very hygge!" Snow Drift Ski Lift Skiing enthusiasts love it all, from the crisp, fresh bite of the air on arrival at the resort, the contrasting warmth of chalets; the icicles hanging from roofs; twinkling fairylights in the streets and the bursts of convivial laughter and applause from restaurants and bars where pets enjoy themselves after a day on the slopes!

@ Skiing Adventure Starts “Seeing these places makes me want to go to stay for a week or two, fancy,” remarked Alvin. "It's so different!" "Well, I guess that's the point of travel, isn't it?" said fancy. "To broaden your horizons and so on." Skiing Adventure Starts You and your fellow pets may prefer to mostly ski together, but perhaps sometimes the more advanced skiers will tackle a challenging route down the mountain and you then meet at the bottom of the slope. A shared love and appreciation for snow makes for the perfect, spectacular and memorable holiday on the slopes.

"To broaden your horizons and so on." Stunning Snow Slope What does skiing mean for you? Is it rising with the sun; having the exhilarating crisp mountain air hitting your face, making a unique wake-up call! Let's not forget the huge sense of freedom as your skis cut through freshly fallen powder, merrily zigzagging down the slopes whooping, laughing and joking, then sitting on a peaceful ski lift putting the world to rights against the stunning backdrop of Alpine views.

Coffee with Steamed Milk Flower It adds to the fun of going to your town's coffee shop: when your barista puts in front of you a hot, freshly made, foam-topped cappuccino, complete with beautiful artwork!
