Parlour games

Board games are the ultimate way to unwind after a long day in the mountains. No preparation or boots are needed, but when the games start, the calm afterglow quickly turns into a battle of wits.

Ping-Pong

Table tennis is the perfect activity to shake off the pounds after a day in ski boots. Ping pong doesn't require any prior knowledge to be fun, but when there's a match, even the nicest of friends can turn into focused winners.

Challenge or be challenged?

From snow to games, together after the peaks. Challenge the gang in plump, 501 or maybe round robin and may the best participant win!

Darts - From the battlefield to the pub.

Believe it or not, the dart was not born in a smoky London cellar, but on the English battlefields of the Middle Ages.

The story behind the arrow

It is said that archers began throwing broken arrow shafts at the bottom of empty wine barrels (or cross-sections of wooden logs) to pass the time and compete in marksmanship between battles. The annual rings in the wood became the first natural scoring zones.

Today, the sport has moved from the battlefield to sold-out stadiums with thousands of screaming fans and live TV broadcasts. But even as the pros throw for millions, darts remains the ultimate social activity. It's a game where everyone can join in.

Three quick games to challenge the gang:

  1. 501 - The classic form of competition. Count down to zero - but you have to finish with a double! And don't worry, there are apps that will do the counting for you if you don't want to sharpen your head count yourself.
  2. Killer - Create chaos in the party. First you become the ”villain”, then it's about eliminating the opponents' lives. Throw a number each with a non-dominant hand, then you have to hit your number 5 times and then hit the opponents number - do you end up with zero? Then you have been killed and are out of the game!
  3. The Clock - Simple, fast and frustratingly fun. Hit 1, 2, 3... all the way up to 20 before your buddy does. For motivation, you can also count doubles and triples: if you hit the right number on a double, you jump forward two ”clocks”.

Parlour games

Board games, card games or chaos? The biggest prestige of the evening will be decided here!

After a day in the mountains, board games are the natural gathering point. There's something about the feel of pieces against your fingertips, the rustle of cards and that nervous silence before a dice lands. It doesn't matter if it's a strategic board game that requires full focus, or a crazy party game that makes the whole lobby fall about laughing - board games are all about presence, something that has its roots in ancient times.

As far back as 5 000 years ago in ancient Egypt, people played Senet, a board game believed to have links to the afterlife. Over the millennia, games have served as everything from training in war strategy to a way to socialize across generations.

Today, it's mostly used as a pastime and a reason to socialize - and that's something we stand behind! Gather your friends and family in the lobby, pick a game from under the table and challenge each other.

The official rules of the mountain - for a good (and reasonably) peaceful atmosphere.

  1. Analog zone: Mobiles get a rest. It's hard to roll dice with a phone in your hand, and you'll miss your opponent's best ”poker face”.
  2. The mountain sees all: Trying to sneak an extra hundred in Monopoly or peeking at your neighbor's cards is strictly forbidden. Remember - karma in board games affects tomorrow's herding!
  3. Winner's cheers welcome: It's perfectly fine to celebrate a win with a (reasonable) victory cheer, as long as the loser gets a comforting pat on the shoulder afterwards.
  4. House veto: In case of extremely unclear rule disputes, the last person to go black or the one who brings the next round of drinks to the table always wins.
  5. Order in the nest: Once the title of ”Grandmaster of the Mountain” has been awarded and the game is over, we help to put all the pieces and cards back in the right box. A missing dice is a tragedy for the next group of adventurers!
  6. Aftermath: All arguments and epic twists should be discussed lively over a coffee or something cold afterwards. That's when the best stories are born!

Pulka

Tummy tingling and snowy - time to hit the sledding hill!

Do you remember that feeling? When the snow is falling outside the window, your cheeks are flushed red and all that matters is finding the fastest way down the hill. Going sledding means ignoring all the adult points and just letting the laughter bubble along with the speed. Nothing beats that wonderful feeling in your stomach when the starting gun goes off and you whizz across the white expanses!

For those looking for the ultimate skiing experience, we recommend Lappbergsbacken. It's our absolute favorite when it comes to sledding and snow play. Here there is room for both big and small adventurers to test their wings (or rather their medar) in an environment that really invites to mischief.

Even though it's going to be a bumpy ride, we want everyone to land softly. We recommend that you wear your helmet, keep an eye on the track and others around you, and put your feet first in the sled so you can brake.

You can rent sledges in the country store and in the Sports Shop.

Ping-Pong

Do you dare to take the serve?

Quick reflexes, team spirit or total domination? Here are the game variations that turn the ping pong table into an arena.

Round Pong

In this classic, the whole gang lines up in a circle around the table to keep the pace up. You hit a shot, run straight to the other side, and make way for the next person in line to take the ball. If you miss, you're out, and when only two heroes remain, it all comes down to 3 points in an epic final.

Kung

Here, one person is placed on the king side while the others form a queue on the challenger side, where each player has three lives. Whoever manages to make the king miss takes over the throne, is crowned the new king and gets their lives back. As a challenger, you are last in line in case of defeat, and the challenge is to see who can stay on the throne the longest.

Double duels

In this team challenge you play two against two where communication is at least as important as quick reflexes. The golden rule is that team members must hit every other ball, requiring synchronized footwork to avoid colliding in the middle of a smash. It's a perfect way to build team spirit and guarantees happy discussions about every point.

Billiards

Green blanket and golden moments - Taking the decisive shot?

Billiards

Four billiard games to try with the gang.

8-ball - the classic

The most common game where you are divided into ”half” (striped) and ”whole” (colored) balls. Once you have sunk all the balls in your series, the black 8 ball must be sunk in a marked pocket to win.

  • Keep in mind: If the 8 goes down too early, or in the wrong hole, you lose immediately.

9-ball - Speed and precision

In this game, nine balls are sunk in numerical order (1 to 9). Whoever sinks the 9 wins the game, regardless of who sank the most balls before.

  • Keep in mind: You must always hit the lowest numbered ball first with the cue ball, but you may use it to blast the 9 ball into the hole.

Cutthroat / Three-pulse - Social and tactical

The ultimate board game for three people. You are divided into three groups (balls 1-5, 6-10 and 11-15). The aim is to sink the opponents' balls and keep at least one of your own on the table.

  • Keep in mind: Last one left with balls on the table wins. Perfect for ganging up on the leader!

Killer - Thrills for the whole gang

A classic billiards parlor game where each player writes down two ball numbers without showing each other. Your task is to sink everyone else's balls. When your numbers are gone, you are out and must say so out loud.

  • Tips: Sometimes you have to pretend to shoot at your own ball in order not to reveal your number.
