Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride in the Pitztal: Winter at a Gentle Pace
When Winter Slows Down Again
The horses set off, bells ring and snow crunches beneath the runners. A horse-drawn sleigh ride in the Pitztal needs no speed to stay in your memory. Perhaps that is precisely why.
Wrapped warmly in blankets, you travel through the snowy landscape of the rear Pitztal. During the day, the mountains stand clear above the valley. In the evening, the ride becomes quieter, village lights pass by and winter feels even more untouched.

Reithof Pitztal in Tieflehn offers rides through the winter landscape. Tieflehn is close to Mandarfen and quickly reached from the Mandarfner Hof. A ride usually lasts around one hour and may take place during the day or in the evening, depending on the offer.
Blankets and a hot tea or mulled wine are usually part of the experience. The exact itinerary, available dates and current prices are confirmed directly when booking.
Who Is the Ride Suitable For?
A horse-drawn sleigh ride is especially suitable:
- for couples looking for a peaceful winter evening
- for families with children
- for non-skiers
- as a shared experience on a rest day
- for small groups
- as a surprise for a special occasion
Anyone with limited mobility should clarify boarding, getting off and the available space with the provider in advance.
What Should You Wear?
You get cold more quickly while sitting than when hiking or skiing. Even with a blanket, we recommend:
- a warm winter jacket and several layers
- a hat, gloves and scarf
- sturdy, lined shoes
- especially warm clothing for evening rides
In heavy snow, rain or unsuitable path conditions, a ride may be postponed. The welfare of the horses and the safety of everyone involved come first.
Reserve in Good Time
Horse-drawn sleigh rides are popular and places are limited. Booking early is especially worthwhile during school holidays and for evening dates.
Reception will be happy to help you make contact. The ride is booked and confirmed directly with the provider.
A Quiet Winter Moment
Not every holiday day needs to be full. Perhaps the sleigh ride is the only plan today. Before it, a slow breakfast; afterwards, dinner at the Mandarfner Hof. In between: snow, horses and one hour in which nobody has to hurry anywhere.
