Whilst the idea of lying on a hot beach may appeal to the majority of stags, we want to draw your attention away from the palm\u00a0trees and talk about snow.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of ways to get the blood rushing\u00a0that will have you\u00a0forgetting about tropical climates faster than you can say, \u201cThank God for thermals!\u201d<\/p>\n
Take a\u00a0look at our top suggested activities below\u2026<\/p>\n
Skiing<\/strong><\/p>\n By far one of the most popular things to do in the snow! If you\u2019ve never tried either then now’s the time to start. \u00a0Skiing an enjoyable thing to do with your mates, good\u00a0exercise and a great place to meet new people.<\/p>\n We recommend hiring an instructor and getting some lessons. Yes it may seem\u00a0horribly uncool but it\u2019s better than pretending to know what\u00a0you\u2019re doing on the slopes, and falling face first into the snow.<\/p>\n Ice Hockey<\/strong><\/p>\n This ice-based sport isn\u2019t hard to get the hang of and\u00a0is a good way to get that friendly competitive spirit stirred up within the group. Protective gear is\u00a0normally offered and advised.<\/p>\n The objective of the game is to get the puck into the opposition’s net and prevent them from doing\u00a0that very same thing to yours. Sounds simple? Well sort of\u2026 but it can get a little bumpy so brace\u00a0yourselves for a day of rough fun (and be thankful for the padded gear.)<\/p>\n Bobsledding<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve seen the film \u2018Cool Runnings\u2019 then you\u2019ll know just how much fun bobsledding can be. \u00a0Well now you can in La Plagne<\/a>. \u00a0Also, contrary to popular belief you don\u2019t have to be a professional trained Olympian to do this\u00a0activity. All you need to be able to do is listen to safety instruction and have more than one mate to\u00a0bring along with you. Guaranteed to be one of the fastest things\u00a0you\u2019ll ever do on the ice \u2013 ever.<\/p>\n Snow Mobiles<\/strong><\/p>\n This will see you and your\u00a0mates mounting these zippy snow loving machines and racing across the white plains like an Arctic wind.<\/p>\n Not as physically strenuous as the other activities, this is a good choice for stags who don\u2019t really\u00a0want to feel their muscles burn the day after. Your group will be led by a professional guide, so as\u00a0long as you follow them and remember the driving\/safety instructions you\u2019ll be fine. \u00a0 Try this in Meribel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Husky Racing<\/strong><\/p>\n Not as easy as it looks. Still, it\u2019s an experience worth doing if you love a sense of\u00a0adventure. Be warned though, this is physically exhausting: you have to steer the\u00a0sled and direct the dogs yourself. I know that sounds obvious, but the dogs don\u2019t just magically know\u00a0when to turn and when to stop. They\u2019re smart; they\u2019re just not that smart.<\/p>\n Try this in a resort like La Tania<\/a>.<\/p>\n About the author<\/strong><\/p>\n Cat is Online Marketing Editor for www.thestagcompany.com<\/a> \u2013 The UK\u2019s biggest stag\u00a0weekend organiser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/huski-190x126.png<\/a> This is a guest blog post by\u00a0Cat Goulbourne from The Stag Company.
