Skiing or Sledding?

I flew to Salzburg last December and spent a lovely, white Christmas in the area. Since I was visiting family, we decided not to go skiing this year. Normally we do a bit of cross-country skiing - great for keeping fit, not so good if you like a bit of speed! However, apart from all the other things you can do (I would recommend a visit to a thermal spa for ultimate relaxation!) in the Alps, sledding can never fail to entertain. So we drove to Werfenweng, and climbed for two hours before sledding down the mountain in about 10 minutes. Not before having had a hearty lunch at the top though! So, remember that if you don’t like skiing or don’t want to break any bones (although some places recommend helmets for sledding!), old-fashioned tobogganing is the next best thing for snowy thrills.
