downhill skiing
Winter brings all the snowy sports such as Nordic skiing, tobogganing, and skating.
There are fundamental differences between Alpine and Nordic skiing, such as the snow itself: in Scandinavia, you don't have to ascend to the top of a mountain in a cable car to get snow.

Nordic skiing is hugely popular in Europe and organizers have created a 1,200-metre cross-country trail.
