❤️ Why We Love This Trip

🌅 Day Trips 🌲 Nature 👨 Family Fun ❄️ Winter 💎 Hidden Gems
This magical winter adventure combines a 2.5-kilometer scenic mountain trail with an exhilarating twilight sledging experience in Bavaria's best beginner-friendly route. The journey starts with a simple train ride from München Hauptbahnhof to Schliersee, followed by a rewarding uphill hike through a pristine winter wonderland. At the summit, the traditional mountain Alm welcomes visitors with Käsespätzle and Radler, offering the perfect rest stop before the thrilling descent. The sunset timing transforms the experience, with fairy lights illuminating the forested trail and creating an enchanting atmosphere for the 10-minute downhill adventure. While the route is beginner-friendly, featuring well-maintained slopes and clear paths, it still offers enough excitement with its natural bumps and curves to satisfy more experienced sledgers. The combination of traditional Bavarian hospitality, stunning alpine scenery, and the unique twilight setting makes this more than just a sledging trip - it's a complete winter mountain experience.
