Manali

For high mountain thrills perhaps nothing can surpass the magic of heli- skiing. Under a deep blue sky, the skiers are carried by helicopter to a snow-draped peak. And after that there is nothing except steadily distancing whirr of rotor blades, the sky and the snow. It is a thrilling experience as the skier rapidly zooms down the slopes.

Shimla

The Shimla ice-skating rink has the largest open-air area with naturally frozen ice in this part of the world and the Ice-Skating Club has already celebrated its Diamond Jubilee. Figure skating, speed skating or ice - hockey - one can try his hand at any of these available at the Shimla Ice Rink. Fancy-dress carnivals, 'gymkhanas', ice hockey and dances enliven every season.

Kufri

Some great Hiking, some skiing, some beautiful scenes and a cool environment that's what Kufri is all about. It is famous for its trekking and hiking trails. Adventure-seeking travelers throng Kufri in winters to enjoy skiing and tobogganing along its snow-covered slopes. The Skiing season spreads between November to February and the tourist inflow is at its peak during winters.

Narkanda

It is slightly higher than Shimla (7,400 feet) and the road linking the two runs almost near the crest of the mountain with a gradual ascent. One is constantly treated to a bird's-eye view of the different valleys as the road twists and turns from one spur to another. Especially breathtaking is the view of Narkanda from Fagu, a small village enroute.
