Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Enjoy a fine aperitif along the way in one of the restaurants. 

The toboggan run is also a highlight by moonlight.

Safety guidelines

  • Adjust speed and driving style to your skill level and visibility. 
  • Ride sitting down and do not tie sledges together.
  • Respect the track of the person in front. The tobogganer coming from behind must choose their track so as not to endanger the tobogganers ahead and overtake with distance.
