Under guided protection, the horse ride is safe, also for the smaller ones. There are several horse riding trails for longer or shorter trips. A favorite route is the mountain trail to the Shiva temple which is built up the hill, at the bottom of a large waterfall.

snow scooter / snowmobile

Snow Scooter

Famously known as sleds or sledge around the world, this is one machine to ride to make a statement in winter. Irrespective of how deep the snow is, one could float over snow crystals and effortlessly zip around the mountainside and experience the fresh mountain snow. If you are an experienced snowmobiler, Solang could be your playground. The machines are available at a nominal rent and you could take a scenic tour along a groomed trail or just dash into the countryside with a guide.

Zorbing

Zorbing  involves two people superman-diving into the ball, getting strapped in, face to face, and zorbing down hill. Watching the zorbonauts laugh and scream their way down the run where the sky and grass blend into one blur of exhilaration. Nothing can quite describe the sensation of hurtling down a hill in a ball, but that’s what makes zorbing so unique!

Tubing

Slide down a snow-slicked slope, then ride a carpet lift (like a moving sidewalk on the snow) back up to do it all over again.
