Focus on SNOOC ?
The SNOOC is a hybrid between a ski and a sled. It's called a sit-ski.
If we go back in time, we find sleds with only one skate, with a board to sit on. The villagers used it to move along the snowy slopes, keeping their feet on either side of the skate.
The SNOOC is designed on the same principle: a seat is attached to a ski. You sit on the seat, place your feet horizontally on the snowy slope, and steer the SNOOC by rotating your shoulders to make turns.
Once on it, it's very intuitive! You just have to try it.
Not only is it intuitive, but it is also a very safe activity. Everyone can enjoy it. There is no need to know how to ski to enjoy the turns - the famous carving made possible by the presence of a real ski instead of a sled runner - the descent, the laughter and the emotions that take us back to childhood.
You can share a SNOOC outing with your family, even with several generations, with friends and even accompanying friends during their ski session! On the condition that you stay on the slopes authorized for the SNOOC.
Some information about the resort of Crans Montana
Crans Montana is a famous ski resort located in the canton of Valais, Switzerland.
@MartinGardelliano
It is composed of four villages, spread out on a vast plateau, facing south and offering an extraordinary view of the Valaisan Alps and the Rhone Valley which flows below between Brig and Martigny.
We find Crans, Montana, Barzettes and Aminona.
Beautiful villages where wooden chalets and large hotels blend into the wooded landscape.
They are all at an altitude of around 1500m, and the ski area with 150km of runs rises to over 2900m. Great skiing is on offer in this historic Swiss resort whose first lift was built almost 100 years ago.
