Snowbraker: Freeride alpine sledge
This new dimension in sledges allows you to ride in open alpine terrain. The sledge is capable of deep snow thanks to its wide contact surfaces and special guide elements, guaranteeing fun in all types of snow and icy conditions. Effective brakes in the front area enable controlled steep descents of up to 35° and "surfing" in untouched powder. Pischa is the ideal freeride area for the Snowbraker and anyone who wants to can continue climbing from the mountain station with snowshoes and go on real alpine sledge tours. There is also a tandem sledge version. Also capable of deep snow, with safe braking for easy alpine terrain and toboggan runs.
Three Snowbrakers
Available for rental at the Pischa valley station on a daily basis (8:20 a.m. to 4:20 p.m.). Contact for rental or testing:
