\paragraph{Downhill skiing}
There are several shops in Obergurgl where you can buy or rent skiing equipment. The one closest to the skiing lifts is Scheiber Sport (https://www.scheibersport.com/). Skiing passes can be bought right next to the skiing lifts. If you are new to skiing, you can book lessons at one of the skiing schools in Obergurgl (http://www.alpinsport-obergurgl.at or www.skischule-obergurgl.com). 

\paragraph{Skating}
There is an ice-skating rink in Obergurgl, which is opened daily from 3:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Ice-skates can be rented at the place. We are planning to organize a friendly game of ice-hockey during the winterschool, so if you are interested contact Janko from the organizing team. 

\paragraph{Sledding}
In Hochgurgl a three kilometer long natural toboggan run leads from the top station of Hochgurglbahn mountain gondola down to the valley.
