We are traveling as a family over Christmas and New Year's. Has anyone had sleigh ride experiences (daytime or evening) that you can recommend? Our group size is 12, consisting of 8 adults and 4 young children.
Also, any other favorite winter rec options, beyond downhill skiing, in Innsbruck/Seefeld and Zell am See/Kaprun?
Thanks!
Have you made reservations?
We have made some inquiries, and have an opportunity to reserve. Do you have any recommendations for either of these locations? We'll be in the Innsbruck area and also Zell am See / Kaprun.
This late and for your large group I would probably take your offer. For Zell am See someplace on the Schmittenstraße towards the Sonnalmbahn and Schmittenhöhebahn Talstation. I have never overnighted in Kaprun. I would recommend a trip to the top of the Kitzsteinhorn https://www.kitzsteinhorn.at/en
As for Innsbruck I usually recommend staying in the Stubaital in Mieders or Fulpmes. Mieders is about 1/2 hour by bus to Innsbruck and Fulpmes 1 hour with the Stubaitalbahn/train.
I can't recommend a sleigh ride, but would guess this time of year not too hard to find. Finding one on real snow might be a challenge. https://www.stubai.at/en/activities/family/activities-for-families/horse-riding-1/
Seefeld in Tirol, near Innsbruck (40 minutes by train), is a very good place to stay.
I should have clarified. We are all set with accommodations reserved in both Innsbruck and Zell am See. We plan to spend some time in Seefeld (enjoyed it in the past) and the areas outside of Innsbruck, and likewise around Zell am See. We were looking to see whether anyone could recommend sleigh rides ... we enjoyed one near Zell am See in the early 2000's and it was wonderful ... and would love any additional recommendations for tobaggoning or other family winter fun with kids in these areas.
