Romantic Horse-Drawn Sleigh Ride
1–2 hours · 2–8 people · from 25 €1,7 km
When the hooves pad softly through the snow, the bells jingle and you snuggle deep into your blanket, the world slows down all by itself. A horse-drawn sleigh ride is one of the most atmospheric winter experiences around Schladming — charmingly kitschy in the very best sense. Ramsau am Dachstein is considered the most horse-powered village in Styria: several farms here harness their Haflingers to the sleighs. And from Rohrmoos, too, you can head leisurely into the idyllic Untertal. Whether it's a romantic ride for two, a family outing with a hut stop or a sociable round with friends: between snow-covered meadows and the mighty Dachstein, every ride becomes a little winter fairytale.
