    The descent starts on the Hannigberg (2,362 m above sea level). Before the rapid descent into the valley, there is an opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountains. In particular, the terrace of the Hannig mountain restaurant, which offers a unique view, is a special place for sun lovers.

    Sledging can be done not only in sunshine: with an additionally borrowed headlamp, the moonlight descent can be experienced, which is an unforgettable experience especially for families.

    NEW: Eddie's interactive sledging run

    From mid-December (depending on snow conditions), sledding fans at Hannigberg can expect a special adventure: the evil eagle Aragon has stolen the magical crystals that protect the larch forest on the Hannigberg. Together with the brave marmot Eddie, you have to find the hidden crystals and escape from Aragon. Along the sledding track, interactive elements await where crystals can be collected. The goal is to reach the finish before Aragon. The interactive sledging run offers lots of sledding fun with many surprises, including a speed measurement. The mission can also be completed during night sledding – reflectors show the way to the crystals.

    Safety information

    Using the sledging trails and the information on this website is at your own risk. Conditions on site may possibly lead to changes in the routes.

    • Use only marked routes and observe all signposts and instructions – for your own safety, to protect farm animals, and not to disturb the peace of wildlife.
    • Wear a helmet because the tree trunk or rock is stronger than your head.
    • Leave your sneakers in the cupboard and wear high, sturdy shoes with a good grip. Brake aids like heel spikes help on icy conditions.
    • Be considerate of others.
    • Adjust your speed and riding style to your ability.
    • Respect the track of the person in front of you.
    • Overtake with distance.
    • Check before starting whether the track is clear.
    • Stop at the edge and mount and dismount at the edge.
    • Observe the signs and markings.
