Outdoor Sports and Activities
Skiing/snowboarding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling are always favorite winter past-times. But sometimes, the Mid-West is overlooked when it comes to these and other outdoor sports activities.

The Wisconsin Dells area has a first-rate ski area at Devils Head with 500 feet of vertical drop. Devil’s Head offers groomed runs at various levels, quad chair lifts, lessons and more.
If snowmobiling or cross-country skiing are your thing, nature trails abound for groomed or groom-it-yourself fun. Devils Lake and Christmas Mountain are popular destinations for cross-country skiing, sledding, ice-fishing, snowshoeing, and ice skating in some of the most beautiful settings anywhere.
Pamper Yourself
If you just want to unwind and relax, there are numerous options for a spa-like experience to choose from. Cleopatra’s Spa exclusively caters to those who desire rest and relaxation. Body treatments and ancient ritual baths are among the favorite offerings you will find here.
