Stuttgart: Curling Experience with Guide

Ready for a quirky sport in the heart of Stuttgart? For just $251 per group of up to 10, you can try your hand at curling—but with a twist. Instead of a traditional ice rink, this experience takes place on a Tartan Track in Stuttgart Münster, wrapped in a cozy, festive atmosphere. Led by a friendly guide, you’ll learn the basics, enjoy friendly competition, and finish with certificates and some well-deserved mulled wine or punch.

What we love about this experience is the chance to try a sport that’s usually seen on icy surfaces—here, it’s all about skill and teamwork on a covered outdoor track. The relaxed, informal setting encourages lots of laughs and camaraderie, making it perfect for groups wanting a fun, active outing. Another highlight is the welcoming reception with warm drinks and the chance to toast your newfound skills, adding a festive, social touch.

One small consideration: since this activity is outdoors, the weather can influence your experience. A chilly day might require layering, but it also adds to the wintery charm. This activity is best suited for those who enjoy playful competition, aren’t looking for a serious athletic challenge, and want to experience something uniquely local and fun. It’s ideal for friends, families, or colleagues looking for a light-hearted activity that combines sport with socializing.

The friendly competition encourages a sense of achievement, especially when you receive a certificate or see your “winning shot” recognized.
