Sledging in Samnaun

The thrill of hurtling downhill on the Samnaun sledge run must first be earned. From Samnaun village we make our way through the snow, up through the forest, past the Motta Saltuorn Hut, continuing to the lookout point above Val Motnaida. There we rest for a moment to enjoy the view, then taking a deep breath and with a huge smile on our faces, we hop on our sledges and begin our 2.8 km run - about 300 vertical metres of thrilling downhill lies ahead of us.
