Downhill on sledges

You're never too old for sledging.

Horse-drawn sleigh ride

Zooming around with 2 horsepowers

On a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the silent "big white", you truly forget about time. A warm blanket, perhaps a fine tea in the thermos flask and the willingness to enjoy a decelerating nature experience - that's all it takes. 

The Lech river gurgles merrily away in the immediate vicinity while you enjoy the enchanting panorama from your "box seat". The pleasure is also a highlight at night, when the illuminated houses sparkle in the landscape and the stars in the clear sky are your constant companions.

Available in Lech:

  • sleigh ride with Josef and Anna from Haus Angelika
  • Kaufmann family

Paragliding

in tandem through the skies

Take off and experience the freedom immediately after start, without restrictions and engine noise, floating freely, only connected to the wing by a few lines, feel the movements and forces of the atmosphere in the midst of our beautiful landscape.

For a short time forget everyday life to be completely with yourself. An experience that can only be felt when flying. For us, this is the special attraction of flying a paraglider. Join us and experience it for yourself.

Tandem-flights are generally possibile throughout the season, depending on weather conditions. 

„Life is too short to stay stuck on the ground all the time!”
