Night tobogganing at Hochwurzen

Open
The Hochwurzen toboggan run is also open in the evening from 25.12.2023 until the end of March 2024 and is one of the longest natural toboggan runs in the Alps. You can find the opening hours for evening operation here.
On top of 123 kilometers of ski slopes, Schladming's 4 mountain ski area also offers one of the longest toboggan runs in the Alps. The almost 7 km long toboggan run is open daily during cable-car operating times. The Hochwurzen toboggan run is among the most attractive and well-groomed runs in Austria. 

The following opening hours apply to the evening operation on the Hochwurzen:

The Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen cable-car takes tobogganists up to the summit of Hochwurzen. From there the track takes you back to the valley terminal  The cable car offers enough space in its pods to transport the sleds, which can be rented close by the valley terminal. The starting point of the sled run is located directly on the Hochwurzen summit.Sledding is a unique, romantic pleasure on two runners in the middle of nature and winter. Stopping off for food is part of it – and you won’t miss out on Hochwurzen. The lodges are well distributed between the starting and finishing points of the sled run and offer enough space even for large groups!
