COOL GETAWAYS
SPINNING, SWISS-STYLE
Crank up your energy levels with a giant leap forward into an exhilarating activity – mountain bikes modified with super-fat under-inflated tyres so they can be ridden on snow. Starting life in the USA, they’re now gaining popularity on European pistes. Lenzerheide in Switzerland is one of the few resorts with an entire slope given to fat bike riders, so you don’t risk being knocked off balance by skiers and snowboarders (or indeed, knocking them off balance). There’s also 80km of winter hiking paths, as well as snowshoeing and sledging. Research has shown that oxygen-rich mountain air and highaltitude sunlight stimulate your senses and increase the number of red blood cells, while alternating between exertion and relaxation is great for metabolism and blood circulation. It’s the perfect way to replenish flagging energy levels. Accommodation from £29 per person per night, fat biking from CHF42 (approx £35). For more details or to book, visit lenzerheide.com/en.
