Night Tobogganing on the Hochwurzen
2–3 hours · from 2 people, also great for large groups · from 25 €2,9 km
When dusk settles over the Ennstal, what is perhaps the loveliest winter adventure around Schladming begins on the Hochwurzen: night tobogganing. Seven kilometres of natural toboggan run and 730 metres of altitude lie between the top station at 1,850 metres and the valley in Rohrmoos — in the evening, floodlights bathe the entire run in warm light. You glide up with the Gipfelbahn, warm up with a Jagatee in the hut and then whizz down into the valley beneath the starry sky. Whether it's a romantic evening for two, action with your crew or a highlight for the whole family: the Hochwurzen is one of the longest toboggan runs in the Alps — and simply part of any winter holiday in Schladming.
