Snowbiking is an exciting combination of biking and skiing and is certainly one of the most unforgettable holiday highlights. It’s a different way to carve, cruise or drift, and it’s relatively easy and fast to learn. A short workshop with a professional trainer is enough to get you down the slope! Snowbiking is not a completely new trend sport, but the technical development of the popular ski bobsleigh, which incidentally was invented in 1949 by Engelbert Brenter. The modern snowbikes of today are characterized by their low weight and the suspension technology and allow a intuitive control of the device for more driving pleasure.
