10 x winter sports on Texel

Do sports in the Texel nature, relax in the wellness and enjoy culinary delicacies. Experience the winter sports feeling on Texel this winter! We give you 10 tips on what to do on a winter sports holiday on the island:

1. Do sports in nature

In winter there are many active activities on the island. From beach sailing to running in the dunes. And from mountain biking in the forest to off-road e-skating. You can find all activities in our agenda.

2. Let the wind blow around your nose on the beach

Texel is known for its wide beach, ideal for a good walk. You can pick up food and drinks from some beach pavilions. So you can warm up wonderfully with a mulled wine or hot chocolate.

3. Enjoy Texel cheese fondue

Winter sports are not complete without cheese fondue! At Kaasboerderij Wezenspyk you can buy a cheese fondue package with no less than 3 Texel cheeses. Guaranteed a filling and delicious meal!

4. Take a tour on the cruiser

Instead of a tour with a snowmobile, you can also rent a Texel cruiser on Texel. An electrically powered scooter with which you can discover the island in a relaxed and silent manner.

5. Relax in the sauna
