We had a wonderful tour with Werner. We were transported comfortably into the countryside where we took our sleigh ride through the snow. The scenery in the village was beautiful and we were lucky enough to have snow while we were there. We then toured other sights on the return to Salzburg, with Werner sharing interesting information and answering all our questions. The lights were on in the afternoon session which was beautiful to see. I would highly recommend this tour.

Josef was a great host and driver on our carriage ride. There was not enough snow for the sleigh but the experience was still very beautiful and highly recommended. Lara and Chirpy were lovely horses, in great condition and they clearly enjoyed the ride too. Josef is very thoughtful of his horses which was an added bonus.

Full description

Experience Salzburg's magical snowscape in a novel, unique, and above all, a romantic way. This half-day excursion will take you out of the city to the picturesque village of St Wolfgang.
Your horse-drawn sleigh or horse-and-carriage will take you onwards through a winter paradise along breath-taking Lake Wolfgang and romantic woodland.

Snuggle down under a warm blanket and enjoy viewing the fairytale landscape in a time-honored way. Afterward, there will still be time for exploring the picturesque town of St Wolfgang having a coffee break, visiting the famous Christmas markets (seasonal), or just by taking a stroll along the lake.

If there is no snow, you can nevertheless take a ride in a horse-and-carriage, a wondrous trip through the dreamy countryside around Salzburg that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
