Tobogganing

Not for slow-pokes: Speed junkies are flying down these toboggan runs, by day and sometimes even by night.

If you want to go all the way down, you have to go all the way up. This is usually easy on Lower Austria's toboggan runs, where you can comfortably climb the mountain using the conveyor belts. And then, after some food and drink, it's downhill again, while the track shines in the floodlight.

For sledding enthusiasts who love free rides on natural snow: snowy Mostviertel

In the idyllic Mostviertel region, wonderful natural toboggan runs await you, turning your holiday into an unforgettable experience. For example, in Annaberg you will find several tracks for outdoor fun. The toboggan run on Tirolerkogel is especially popular. A special offer for sledding lovers: with a valid ticket for the Annaberg sled lifts, you can enjoy not only the Reidl conveyor belt but also a guaranteed great toboggan run!

In the village of Göstling an der Ybbs, you can take on the one-kilometer-long Ziegenalm toboggan run for a small fee. In Loich in the Pielachtal valley, two natural toboggan runs are available, 300 and 400 meters long. In the stylishly renovated Fink family drying house, the “Dörrhäusl,” guests are welcomed in the cozy “Kletzen-Stüberl” lounge.

For super-fast sledders who love scenic views: the Vienna Alps in Lower Austria

The snowy winter landscape of the Raxalpe mountains invites you to enjoy fun sledding! But beware: don’t get too distracted by the beautiful view.

Mount Zauberberg once again shows its magical power! This time thanks to its 3 km adventure toboggan run, where you’ll want to race down again and again. By the way: Wizard Siebenstein (Sedmikámen) and the dragon Feuerzahn (Ohňozub) welcome young and old sledders even at night!

“All aboard – ready – go!” echoes on the panoramic toboggan run in Prein. But keep an eye on the trail and don’t let the stunning view divert your attention!

Our tip for young sledding enthusiasts: the 200 m Panhans Rodelwiese sledding meadow at the Semmering mountain pass, right next to the children’s lift. It’s the perfect place to build real jumps and collect your first sledding experiences. In the evening, the run is even floodlit.

And for the very youngest sledders, we have one more special tip: the sledding and bobsledding area at the Familienskiland St. Corona resort.

For relaxed sledding: the refreshing Vienna Woods

First, a snowy winter hike awaits you from Gumpoldskirchen through vineyards and a stretch of forest to the Anninger hut, before you glide swiftly all the way down to Mödling.

Gentle-paced sledding (also suitable for children) close to Vienna can be found at Peilstein, where refreshments are available at the summit. Behind Bonka’s Wirtshaus in Oberkirchbach, the whole family can enjoy sledding – after a lunch break, simply coast peacefully down the hill. A small ski lift next to the slope conveniently takes both young and grown-up sledding fans back to the start.
