Winter Bobsledding in Austria/Germany
 
Hi!

In one of the threads about Christmas/Winter in Austria or Germany, one poster (couldn't remember who, but he either lives in or very familiar with Germany/Austria) put a website about bobsledding, where you pay and you get 10 minutes or so on the run-- an excellent gift during the holidays.

I have been searching for that thread for 2 hours now and banging my head on what keywords to put that will pull it up. Tried googling but does not come up either.

I appreciate ANY help. Thanks.

Many years ago I stayed in Innsbruck & went Bobsledding.

It was a blast.

I hope this helps.

The Innsbruck olympic run is open on certain days of the week. You may want to contact the tourist office. Also, if you google using the word bobsleigh and a specific town name that might have a course you may get better results - that's how I found the Innsbruck reference.

Hi Joy,
Two years ago, we stayed outside of Berchtesdgaden on the Königsee during winter. There is one right by the lake. Here's a link.
