Skiing with horse power
Ski Joering hails from Scandinavia and can be practiced with the skier being pulled by either dogs or horses. The original drag lift, the sport survives today in either touring or competition form and if you want an après ski activity or a day out on the hill away from the crowds then this is a sport worth checking out.
