Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
The toboggan run is also a highlight by moonlight.
Safety guidelines
- Adapt speed and riding style to ability and visibility.
- Ride sitting down and do not tie sleds together.
- Respect the lane of the skier in front. The sledder coming from behind must choose his lane in such a way that he does not endanger the sledder in front and overtake at a distance.
