Sledging has become one of the most favourite Winter sports in Tyrol: a fast walk or if you prefer a relaxing stroll up the mountain - cottage lunch and the quick ride down. Exercise, amusement and fun in one!

Ice skating

Ice skating, a popular sport is becoming even more attractive - you will have even more fun iceskating in the new Olympiaworld for example in the arena of the Tiroler Wasserkraft or on the Hockey field outdoors or on the fast ice-skating ring.
