A horse-drawn sleigh ride over the sunny plateaus of Pichl-Vorberg and Ramsau-Vorberg.

Beautiful and a bit longer ride on the horse-drawn sleigh, which is very sunny most of the time. The ride connects Pichl-Vorberg with Ramsau-Vorberg and has Gasthof Stocker and Frienerstube inns to stop for refreshments on the way. Don't forget your sunglasses - it might be sunny :)
