Tobogganing at JufenPhoto: Evelyn Bürgler, Hochkönig
Experience an unforgettable sledding adventure under a sparkling starry sky – fun for young and old!
Experience pure sledding fun on our 2.5 km long sledding track that starts directly at the picturesque Jufenalm. Dive into the snowy winter landscape of Maria Alm and enjoy a thrilling descent suitable for both beginners and experienced sledders. The course winds through a fantastic scenery that even at night shines in romantic lighting. It becomes especially magical when the sun disappears behind the mountains and the sledding track comes alive with atmospheric lighting.
Author’s recommendation
If you take the Natrunbahn up and hike from the TOM Almhütte to the Jufenalm, an additional winter fun awaits you: You can try out the sledding track at the Jufenalm and enjoy a thrilling descent!
