An outstanding experience on natural toboggan runs, followed by a stopover in a quaint mountain hut. The toboggan run leading down from "Stiegele" is strongly recommended also to families. The sports shops next to the base station of Gaislachkogl mountain gondola have the right rental toboggan, and also some huts offer a rental service.

The rental of toboggans is not included and has to be paid seperate.

Toboggan run from the middle station of the Gaislachkogel cable car

The newly built, illuminated toboggan run leads from the middle station of the Gaislachkoglbahn to Sölden.

With a length of 7.3 km, it is one of the longest toboggan runs in Austria. Due to the easy routing, the toboggan run is also well suited for families and less experienced skiers.

The ride on the toboggan bus (= skibus line 50) is free for holders of a valid ski pass, the buses are running in 20-minute intervals.

Night Tobogganing in Sölden

When the dawn breaks, winter fun is still not over. Once a week the "Stiegele" toboggan run is illuminated in the evening and a special night toboggan bus takes you to the starting point every 20 minutes. The inexpensive evening ticket also serves as a night ski ticket - therefore guests can use the night toboggan bus and the Gaislachkogl mountain gondola (on foot or with skis, but without toboggans) in the most flexible way.

Tip: although the run is floodlit, pocket and headlamps are good for keeping track and being seen by other tobogganists.

The floodlit 4.3 km long toboggan run from Gaislachalm or from Alpengasthof Silbertal can only be used at night after the end of the hut evenings; toboggan rental and mountain transport by minibus are just perfect for sportspeople who like celebrating.
