Overview

Enjoy a true ‘jingle bells’ experience in the Austrian snowscapes on this delightful half-day private tour from Salzburg.

Drive out into the beautiful countryside around Salzburg. Admire the mountain-sides blanketed with thick snow and the trees glittering with frost. About an hour from town your horse-drawn sleigh or carriage will be waiting for you.

See the horses’ breath making puffs of mist in the crisp air and enjoy the tinkle of the bells as the animals shake their heads. Snuggle under the fluffy blankets and enjoy an exhilarating ride across the white wintry landscape.

If you wish, you can stop for a warming drink in a traditional Wirtshaus.

There are few winter experiences more romantic than this enchanting sleigh ride. Go as a family or as a couple!

Itinerary

For your Private Half-day Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride from Salzburg you can be picked up from your hotel in Salzburg City Center, or alternatively meet your mini-van at Mirabellplatz, whichever is most convenient. You will be chauffeured by a multi-lingual driver/guide speaking German & English.

This is a private tour so the starting time is at your convenience.

Your chauffeur will turn on the heating in your comfortable vehicle and drive you out of Salzburg into the snowy countryside. Depending on the weather conditions your sleigh ride might take place either in the Salzburg Lake District or Bavaria.

Leaving the mini-van, you will board your horse-drawn sleigh (depending on snow conditions a carriage may be substituted for the sleigh.) Then with a jingle of bells, you will be off for a romantic ride across the wintry landscape.

Covered up with warm blankets you can enjoy the picturesque scenery to the full. After the 1-hour sleigh ride, you may stop in for an optional warming drink in a traditional Wirtshaus.

At the end of the day, you will be driven back to Salzburg and dropped at your hotel or, if you prefer, at Mirabellplatz.
