Tobogganing with the whole family

Theres a reason why tobogganing is one of the most popular family activities in winter: You dont need much previous experience and hardly any equipment to experience an unforgettable day in the snow. Warm winter clothing, sturdy shoes and, of course, a vehicle - then youre almost on your way!

Are you still missing the right sledge? No problem: in many ski resorts you can rent not only skis, ski boots and poles, but also sleds, toboggans and fun equipment. You should also remember to wear a helmet - it will protect you in case you fall off the sledge.

While the little ones start their first tobogganing attempts on the short, low-slope slopes, the more advanced go to the larger winter sports areas, which usually have a well-developed tobogganing infrastructure.

You decide the character of your tobogganing tour yourself: Do you want to take a leisurely ride up on the mountain railway and then enjoy a long descent? Or will you conquer the altitude metres with your own muscle power and allow yourself as many repetitions as you like?

Night tobogganing is a special experience. In addition to a toboggan and winter clothing, youll need a headlamp and certainly a dose of courage. After all, its only after dark that you can speed down into the valley. And for those who want a little more light: {4} you will also find tracks that are floodlit at night!
