Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride

In the heart of winter, there is something truly magical about a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the Pitztal. The runners glide softly over the snow, the Haflinger horses gently snort, and the only sound is the tinkling of their bells. Wrapped in warm blankets, you glide through the snowy landscape for about an hour, experiencing pure alpine serenity. 


Rides are available both during the day and at night. Day tours depart between 12:00 and 17:00, while evening sleigh rides run from 18:00 to around 20:30.  Whether you prefer mulled wine or tea, both are included, making your ride even more cozy and charming. 


Please note: capacity for sleigh rides is limited, so early booking is highly recommended.  A small surcharge applies during the high season from 20 December to 3 January. 


Whether as a romantic moment for two, a family memory or a magical evening with friends – a horse-drawn sleigh ride in the Pitztal is a winter highlight. The gentle steps of the horses, the crisp mountain air, and the peaceful silence of snow-blanketed valleys create an unforgettable experience.
