Thanks to Taxi Bob, the thrill and emotion of speed on ice - once only reserved for legendary sports figures - is something which anyone can now experience, and in perfect safety. Since Cortina’s Olimpic Bobrun and modern 4-man racing bobsleds are used, Taxi Bob is almost like participating in a real race.
Setting off is the most delicate moment, overcoming the fear of not knowing what is expecting you. And this is probably much more that you might imagine! But do not worry. Everything happens in perfect safety.
After a picture at the start (and a signature on your will), there is no way you can step out of the bob after it has started moving! From now on it will only be unbelievable acceleration, up to 75 miles per hour, 100 seconds of shear excitement that will never be forgotten.
The taxi-bob may be experienced from the beginning of December to the beginning of February, subject to weather conditions.
Extreme Skiing
Experienced skiers, who wish to practise “extreme skiing”, can find here some of the most breathtaking back-country excursions in the world; the guidance of a professional Mountain Guide is strongly recommended.
If you wish to ski down the steep narrow gorges known as Creste Bianche, Bus Tofana, Canalino del Prete and Sci 18, you absolutely must contact the Gruppo Guide Alpine di Cortina.
A good knowledge of the itinerary, the ability to evaluate weather and snow conditions, and the due respect for every possible precautionary measure are essential requirements.
