Unlike the toboggan run, Buchel-Alpe is located in open terrain, so from here you have a wonderful view of the surrounding mountain peaks such as Aggenstein and Kühgundspitze. Overall, this is not a difficult route, but you do get going, especially in the middle section. Buchel-Alpe also offers a worthwhile stop for refreshments.

The middle section of the route is quite steep here, so we should proceed cautiously.Roadbook
If we start from the parking lot, we can immediately follow the signs to Buchel-Alpe. The path first leads us up in a few switchbacks, then relatively straight on the toboggan run until we finally reach the alp. The descent is on the same prepared forest road: since the route is mostly straight and the few curves are quite wide, children and "tobogganing beginners" especially enjoy it here. After the last curve, we reach the valley road again, with the parking lot on our right.
