Auli Sky Slope :: Auli, 16 kms. from Joshimath is an ideal
destination for winter
season games and tourist place. Resort run by Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam (GMVN)
provides lodging facility. A 3 km long slope
ranging from a height of 2519 mts. to 3049 mts. is a major
attraction. The snow beaters are available to beat
the snow to keep the slopes fit for skiing all the times. A 500 mts.
long ski-lift carries skiers back to the slope top, thus
saving them the trouble and time to bridge up.
Rope Way :: Rope is
also available from Joshimath itself and right up to
Auli at bearable rates. Booking office is near Hotel
Komet: Best in class Hotel.
The
hills of Uttaranchal have all the ingredients for adventure
packed with excitement and thrills - an unexplored valley, towering peaks, flowing
rivers, snow-capped mountains, a splendid combination of flora & fauna and
vast tracts of virgin snow. The
region
also provides immense opportunities for adventure sports like skiing and the
thrilling water sports which make Uttaranchal an ideal
venue for adventure seekers. The large slopes of Garhwal and
Kumaon covered with seasonal snow became an ideal place for skiing
in the winter months. With their wide open spaces above the
snowline, Garhwal & Kumaon offer yet another exciting
possibility - ski touring amongst the glaciers. For the avid skier,
cross-country runs of 10-20 kms. are now available, with the added
advantage of fresh powder snow, away from criss-crossing streams of
skiers that overtake the slopes of the European Alps. Because of
their height and spread, Garhwal and Kumaon, like other sectors of
the Himalayas, are in position to offer the thrills of exploratory long
distance
skiing round the year.
