This weekend I was in Nax, a pretty little village in the Valais area of Switzerland. Nax is about 30mins drive from it's more famous neighbour Verbier, and shares the same dramatic views over the Swiss Alps.
We were staying in a little hotel on the edge of town, and made the most of the short break by taking in as much outdoor adventure as possible. The area has all the usual winter sports on offer, but in addition it has something relatively rare.
My wife, who is obsessed with horses, got to fulfil a lifelong dream by going skijoring. Skijoring is essentially like waterskiing. That is if the water was snow and the boat was a horse. You're pulled behind a charging horse, controlling them with long reins, as they canter through some of the most spectacular mountain scenery.
And if you think that sounds fun, check out the video we made.
