Your full day winter excursion takes you along the Salzach river valley past many of Austria's ski resorts. Near Schladming, location of the 1982 Ski World Championships, you will ascend up to the "Steirische Ramsau" 3,281 feet (1,000 meters) above sea level at the base of one of the Alpine glacier massifs - the Dachstein.
In the village there is time for a stroll in the frosty fresh air and lunch in one of the local inns. Your guide will give you advice on all of the possibilities. Then you will hear the jingling bells on the reigns as the sleighs line up across the field and your winter sleigh ride begins!

- See stunning alpine scenery as you travel alongside the Salzach River

Our family of 5 had a great day. The sleigh ride was fantastic(2 hours in all) and even though there was no snow in Salzburg, in the mountains it snowed lightly for most of the day. Magical! Could not think of a better family experience around Christmas. The stop in a ski village for lunch was good
