Dual Ski Bob in Arosa
A qualified ski instructor from the Swiss Ski and Snowboard School in Arosa skis alongside you and steers the bobsleigh smoothly down the slopes. You sit comfortably in a large seat shell and are secured with safety belts.
Dual skiing allows you to experience the joy of skiing alongside a qualified snow sports instructor, even if you have physical limitations. The dual ski bobsleigh is suitable for both children and adults.
Would you like to drive the bobsleigh yourself?
Our snow sports instructors also offer monobob lessons for everyone from beginners to advanced riders.
