Whether skiing, snowboarding, sledging, ice skating or snowshoeing - the possibilities are as varied as our offerings. In this article, we want to give you some ideas on how to spend a winter day outdoors and what equipment you can find in our online store.
The right clothing
The most important thing for cold days outside is the right clothing.

We have everything you need, from Merino wool thermal underwearover sweaters and pants up to ski jackets and ski pants.

Ice skating

You can go to an ice rink or, if you're lucky, you might find a frozen lake near you where you can practise this sport. However, please check beforehand whether the ice is thick enough and safe. With our stylish tube scarves nobody has to freeze.
Snowball fight
Who can't remember a snowball fight during the school break in primary school?
But it's not just children who enjoy forming groups, shaping snowballs, building a defensive wall and coming up with a clever strategy.
A whole afternoon flies by in a flash and everyone falls into bed in the evening, tired from the adventure.

Build a snowman
Dress warmly, grab a carrot and maybe one or two other things. accessory like a scarf, and start rolling a big snow globe.
Add a slightly smaller snow globe and another smaller one, a few twigs for arms, stones for eyes and mouth, your carrot for a nose and your snowman is ready.
How about recreating your whole family? Or your favorite animal?
There are no limits to your imagination.
