Winter fun during the vacations: Thanks to snow and frost, families in Saxony don't have far to go skiing or snowboarding. Many ski slopes and trails in the Ore Mountains are prepared for winter sports enthusiasts. But what if after a few days your ski boots start to pinch and you need a change? Away from the ski slopes and trails, there are plenty of winter activities on offer - even for those who don't like skiing.
Adrenaline rush with bobsleighing and ice tubing
For once, you can feel like a bobsleigh pro and hurtle through the ice channel at over 100 km/h - even amateurs can do this in Altenberg. Where professional athletes usually hold their competitions, guests can join experienced pilots in the 4-man bobsleigh, which steers them through steep bends over a distance of 1,000 meters. The pleasure comes at a price of 99 euros per person and many dates are already fully booked. There are also guided tours of the ice canal every Tuesday. During the vacations, children can go on a scavenger hunt.
