Luge and Bobsleigh:
The Luge and Bobsleigh arena held the competitions for 2 and 4 man bobsleigh and singles luge.
The arena is open nearly all year and most can take the a ride in a bob and enjoy the excitement
and adrenaline kick it gives. The wheel-bob brings you to speeds to about 100 km/h. The bob-rafting is run on ice and takes you to 70 – 80 km/h. Many country’s have their training sessions here every year before the international competitions starts in Europe and rest of the world.
There are high voltage power lines in the area, could influence the signals.

Stealth needed, the cache area can have many mugglers at times.
Please replace the cache exactly as it is placed.

The 1994 winners:
Four – man men: Czudaj, Brannasch, Hampel, Szelig
Two – man men: Weder, Acklin
Luge singles men: Hackl
Luge singles women: Gerda Weissensteiner
