    Sledding in the Silvretta mountain range. What at first sounds like a daring undertaking soon turns into a wonderful sledding ride. The sledding route at the Silvretta lake runs along the north flank of the Silvretta ski lift when facing Galtür, which is also your sledding direction. This ski lift is also your transport to get back up to your starting point. At the Silvretta ski lift there is a special device to transport sleds. This device is only compatible with rental sleds from the Silvretta-Haus*** and the Berggasthof Piz Buin. For this reason, the route may only be used with rental sleds. Both sled rental services are located directly on site. It is recommended to contact Silvretta-Haus*** or Berggasthof Piz Buin in advance.

    Author’s recommendation

    Don't play the solo entertainer but go sledding in a group.

    Remember to book your Snooc in advance at the resort or buy it directly on snooc.ski
