Christmas Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride from Salzburg

Highlights

Experience the snow-dusted landscape from a horse-drawn sleigh
Lunch available to purchase in town
Includes round-trip transportation from Salzburg

Summary

Your day trip will begin in central Salzburg’s Mirabellplatz, where you’ll join up with your guide and hop aboard your coach. Journey along the Salzach River Valley to the tiny village of Ramsau, located at the base of the Dachstein, an impressive Alpine mountain. Upon arrival, relax with lunch at one of the local inns (own expense). Treat your taste buds to some of the region's specialty dishes, including apple strudel or the popular wiener schnitzel. Afterward, step out into the crisp air and head to the field where your horse-drawn sleigh will be waiting, decked out with jingle bells. Climb in and begin gliding across the snow as your horses take off for your adventure. Cozy up with supplied blankets from the carriage and, if you choose, stop midway to make snowballs or snowangels. After your horse-drawn sled ride through the Alps concludes, you will be driven back to central Salzburg.
