The year-round Hintertux glacier in the Austrian Tirol is giving anyone who fancies it the chance to test drive a 600 hp snowcat.
The experience is offered from of charge to those who have a lift pass and take the resort's Gletscherbus 3 lift up their snow groomer test area high up at 3,250 metres above sea level.
"Finally you get to control a 600 hp snow groomer yourself," a Hintertux spokesperson said, adding, "Participants will receive individual training on turning manoeuvrers so that you can feel the interplay of power and technology on snow."
Participants must have a driving license B and are advised to wear sturdy shoes and apply-sun protection. The sessions will take place on Thursday 27th April and places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation required.
At the end there is an opportunity to take a nice souvenir photo of the snowcat drive.
