| The Snowlands in Sansara (The regions to the left that form a cross are Chamonix). |
What to do in the Snowlands:
Visit The Wengen Infohub. Chalet Linden remains relatively unchanged since it was first built in 2004. There are some quirky touches around the Chalet area. Beware snow monsters and marauding pumpkins.

Take a train ride. Nearby is Wengen Rez Zone, where you can catch a train for a lovely ride through some of the most beautiful parts of the Snowlands, to ONSR Okemo Canyon Station and beyond.
Watch the Aurora Lindenalis : Across the river is the Voss Lake Rezz Zone and Aurorae viewing area.
Take the Ski Lift. At the base of the ski lift you can pick up some free ski boots.

Ski, snow tube, or sled down the mountain: Make your selection at the top of the ski lift.

Visit the Hyperborea Gallery.

Sled downhill from another place where Abnor Mole has put a sled you can use; however, you have to watch out for moles, rock monsters, and penguins.
Visit a small lodge in Zermat open to the public. Nearby is a Winter Festival Viewing Area

Get a FREE Winterfest 2009 Linden Bear near the trail. Many other interesting things to discover in the area.
Visit a Gingerbread House: In another part of the Snowlands, on protected land in Hanson, there is a Gingerbread House. Farther up the hill is another small sledding area. At the bottom of the hill are a Winter Clock Spire and bridge by Garden Mole and on another side is a small picnic area. Note: Nearby parcels have been landscaped to blend in with the Protected Land; however, they are private.

| Downstairs it's all sweetness and light, upstairs........ |
Visit the Explorer's Information Center in Disi where you can get a map of off-road routes in the Snowlands. There is a rez zone next door in case you want to start off-roading right away.
Explore the rivers: In Steamboat a generous resident has provided kayaks. In Anton Park another resident provides a motorboat for public use.* Ben & Michael Linden have provided inner tubes in Tethys.
Visit St. Thaddeus Monastery, part of the Public Land Preserve*.
*Thanks to Yukiko Yeshto for information about the free water vehicles and the monastery. Yukiko Yeshto provides great tours throughout Second Life and does a lot of research on the areas she chooses. I've taken several of her tours and highly recommend them.
