Tobogganing in South Tyrol brings young and old down into the valley with a big grin.
1 day
Tobogganing is simply fun. Young or old – when braking at the end of the toboggan run, everyone has a broad grin carved on their face. South Tyrol offers a huge number of groomed toboggan runs. Whether you prefer to climb up under your own steam or do several runs thanks to lift assistance – we definitely know where to take you.
Fast runs for the braver ones or leisurely rides for the little ones or the less daring. Either way, we are outdoors in the fresh air. At midday we refuel and warm up in rustic huts with local delicacies, and then whizz down into the valley having a whale of a time.
Historically, horn sledges were an important means of transporting hay and wood in winter for South Tyrolean mountain farmers. Today things are much more playful, but a bit of technique is still part of it.

PROGRAMME
Depending on the snow conditions and the chosen tour, we will arrange a meeting point after booking. Together we then either ride up on the lifts or take a lovely walk along the toboggan run through what will hopefully be a deep-snow landscape.
At one of the many rustic huts that are open in the winter months, we treat our taste buds to excellent cooking and local delicacies before the fast run back down into the valley. Before we set off, there is a short introduction to tobogganing techniques, because this too needs to be learned.
Some ski areas also have toboggan runs, so we can enjoy combining several runs and riding comfortably back up on the cable cars in between. As soon as we get hungry, there is a great choice of lovely huts here too, where we can warm up and refuel before tackling the next runs.
Tobogganing in South Tyrol is definitely fun for young and old alike and a lovely way to spend wonderful days together outdoors in the wintry countryside.
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Who is tobogganing in South Tyrol suitable for?
The tour is designed for young and old alike. Depending on the toboggan run we choose, we look for something faster for the daring or a more leisurely option for children and anyone who prefers to take it easy.
How does the day work?
We arrange the meeting point after booking, depending on the snow conditions and the chosen tour. Then we head up either with the help of a lift or on foot along the toboggan run. Before the first run there is a short briefing, and along the way we stop for a break at a hut.
What do I need to bring for tobogganing?
Above all, you need warm winter clothing and sturdy shoes. The detailed packing list comes with the confirmation email. Any equipment you need can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
