Walking up hills is surprisingly good for your knees, which need to be super strong whichever snow sport you decide to do, and hiking is one of the most accessible activities, wherever you are.
It may seem like the kind of thing old people do on a Sunday, brandishing long ski poles and a Thermos of tea, but it can be pretty gnarly. Just check out this guide to challenge walks in Britain if you still need convincing, but maybe don’t try the Three Peaks on foot first!
Other great benefits of hiking are that it’s really good for your cardiovascular fitness, and apparently can increase your creative problem solving skills by up to 50% (according to this article from the Huffington Post). We all knew that being outdoors was good for us, but not by how much!
