Are you planning a family sledging adventure this winter? Excellent choice – sledging is a delightful activity for family members of all ages. And if you don’t have any sledges yet, don’t worry! At the INTERSPORT Rent shops, you can rent first-rate equipment for a variety of sports. Read on to learn all about the different types of sledges, the rental process and other sledging-related topics!
The most popular options include wooden sledges, plastic sledges, steerable sledges, bob sledges and inflatable sledges.
Here’s a quick guide on the different types:
Wooden sledges have a special nostalgic appeal. They often bring back cherished childhood memories, making them a popular choice for many. Known for being stable and easy to control, these sledges are a great option for families with children. Moreover, when maintained well, high-quality wooden sledges are remarkably durable and long-lasting.
What if you’re planning to walk to the starting point of the sledging run? Then a plastic sledge might be better. Their lighter weight, compared to wooden sledges, makes them easy to carry and pull. Additionally, the material is low-maintenance and moisture-resistant.
Depending on their design, plastic sledges can be grouped into options with or without steering, as well as bob sledges.
A steerable sledge gives you greater control in manoeuvring. The enhanced steering capability also allows for higher speeds. Steerable models are usually more fun to ride but require prior sledging experience.
Inflatable sledges are compact, convenient to transport and offer a high level of comfort. With their soft seating, they are a great option – especially for longer rides. These models are available in both single-seater and two-person configurations.
These bobs are designed to be slightly wider and more stable – attributes that are crucial when higher speeds are involved. A key comfort feature of this type of sledge is the inclusion of seats, which many models incorporate.
Whether it’s a sledge or other winter sports gear: You don’t necessarily need to buy new equipment whenever you want to try a new sport. Renting a sledge helps save you time, money and space. Depending on how spontaneously you want to head out on your adventures, you can conveniently book your winter sports equipment online in advance or directly on site at one of our shops.
