“This was a very fun activity. The hosts were very welcoming and the snowmobile activity was great. They run the activity in small groups which is a lot better than other tours. They also take you into the Alps and let you drive the snowmobiles at fun speeds. The lunch served was nice and the home is lovely. Please note, you will need to check with the guides at the pickup location to see if your name is on the clipboard as it was a bit tricky finding our tour guide.”
