Situated at an altitude of 251 Om from sea level and a distance of 1 6 km from Shimla and 27 km from Chail, this place in winter and in summer is ideal for excursion. One can enjoy the walk which leads upto Mahasu peak.

This is a place from where skiing came into being in 1954 when Winter Sports Club Kufri was set up. Kufri had its first skiing carnival in 1955 in which competition the Ambassador of Norway took part, begging all the prestigious prizes and later gifted fifty pairs of skies to the Club as a token of affection. But due to the ecological variation and conditions, Kufri started receiving less snow during the winters.

The last carniwal could take place in February, 1968. The people still recall that about ten thousand persons attended this function that year. It has also a Nature Park, Potato Research Center and Yak riding is also another attraction.
