Keeping slightly left, the toboggan trail then climbs gently for around one hour towards just below the summit of Mühlberg. The actual summit is not reached, as the final, particularly steep section of the trail cannot be cleared with a snowplough in winter due to the terrain conditions. Nevertheless, the upper section offers a beautiful panoramic view over Scharnitz and towards the Ahrnspitzen, Brunnensteinspitze and Karwendelspitze peaks. This is where the starting point for the approximately 2.6-kilometre-long descent into the valley is located.
The scenic toboggan run covers around 250 metres of elevation gain with an average gradient of 12% and includes several exciting bends along the way. Good control and sure-footed steering are therefore essential on this natural toboggan run.
Key facts about the tobogganing track:
• Length: approx. 2.6 kilometers
• Elevation gain: 250 m
• Lift assistance: none
• Lighting: none
Important note: Even for experienced sledders, this track is a challenge! For children, beginners, and family outings, we recommend the sledding tracks at Hämmermoosalm or Katzenkopfhütte instead.
Recommended equipment:
For this track, a sports toboggan and helmet are required. Multiple layers of clothing, warm gloves, a hat, and waterproof jackets and pants provide protection and comfort. Sturdy boots with good traction (for braking) are essential, while poles and crampons (spikes) can provide extra support during the ascent.
Additionally, sleds and toboggans can be rented at various rental points throughout the Region Seefeld.
Track conditions:
The tobogganing track is not groomed or checked daily, so usage is at your own risk. We strongly recommend checking the current conditions directly with the Information Office (+43 5088 0) before heading out. The ascent is the best opportunity to assess the track—if in doubt, it’s better to turn back. Please note that the ascent and descent share the same trail, which is also used for snowshoe hiking, so be prepared for possible traffic in both directions.
