Winter vacations can be pleasantly different: go down valley in a horse-drawn sleigh instead of on skis.
Sledding or
bobsledding doesn't mean fun for just the little ones alone. Alta Pusteria's perfectly-groomed sled runs go for kilometers on end and to you a whole new experience. You can sled all day and even at night sometimes when the circuit stays open for this very reason.
There are two particularly amusing sled runs nearby:
The Monte Baranci sled run can be reached from San Candido in 10 minutes by chairlift on the path alongside the run. The run is 3 kilometers long with a 320 m drop in elevation.
The Croda Rossa sled run. Take the Sesto Croda Rossa cableway to get to the start of the run in 10 minutes or hike the distance in 2 hours. Stop for quick refreshment at the Croda Rossa Prati Mountain Hut and then ride your sled for 5 kilometers on a 690 m height difference all the way to the bottom.
Night-time sledding is possible from Christmas on every Thursday on the Croda Rossa run, where the circuit operates from 20.30 to 22.00. This makes every winter vacation in South Tyrol a special event!
