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.
