1 . There are some great winter sports that are just waiting to be explored. Some or more extreme than others, but still definitely worth a try...
Ice SkatingInvented more than 4000 years ago by the Finnish, it remains loved by so many all over the world. People of all ages can take advantage of this fun sport, as it is a great way to be outdoors and get a bit of exercise. Experts say that the more you practice, the belter your balance, co-coordination, and flexibility will become. So put on a pair of skates and get moving on the rink.
SnowcrossSnowcross is a sport suitable for people who are a bit more adventurous. Over the last several years, snowcross has increased in popularity and is one of the most sought-after forms of snowmobile races and a really trendy winter sport. Snowcross is popular in the USA, Canada, Sweden, and Finland. Sound fun? Why not give it a try?
Ice HockeyIce hockey is not just one of the most popular winter Olympic sports but has also recently become a common international sport. Ice hockey is fast passed and full of energy that also involved numerous intricate (复杂精细的) tricks and movements. It doesn’t only have a competitive side, it also is super fun!
SnowboardingSnowboarding is another really fun snow sport that is definitely worth trying this winter. It’s not the same as skiing, the main difference between snowboarding and skiing is that snowboarding does not use poles and most people use softer boots for flexibility. Snowboarding has only recently been added to the winter Olympics. There are hundreds of different resorts around the world that allow you to experience this popular sport.

Reviews
Judith, July 2020
The whole experience was unexpectedly great. The apartment is modern and clean with everything really well organized and working. It’s a short walk to the beach and there is a wonderful, clean huge swimming pool in the building.
Catherine, August 2021
We are a family of three that loves to travel. We mostly travel around Europe by car because of our beloved family member “Kala”—a lovely dog. As often we find it difficult to find places to stay in that accept pets, we were glad to know that our pet friend is welcome at BlueHat.

Multiday Walks
Overnight hikes in the park include the four — day Northern Circuit and the six-day Round the Mountain track-one of New Zealand's Great Walks.
Nature 曲(路径)
A series of short nature trails around Tongariro's lower valleys take in the various habitats, home to fascinating and diverse native plants and animals, and are a great way to get to know the park's special places and stories. Home to the national park visitor center, Whakapapa Village is a good place to start exploring.
Waterfall-watching
Dramatic waterfalls are a Tongariro National Park specialty. See them on a number of spectacular short walks including Taranaki Falls, Watonga Falls, Silica Rapids and Tawhai Fails.
