There is ample parking available in the large parking lot above Übersaxen. From there, you walk along the Gulmweg to the Gulm and possibly further to the wayside cross above the Gulmalpe.
From there begins the great toboggan run back to the parking lot on the same route as the ascent.

At a brisk pace, the ascent takes about 35 minutes. With children or at a leisurely pace, plan about 1 hour for the ascent. The path runs along Gulmstraße and is also the ascent route. Therefore, keep an eye out for sledders and walk along the edge.
A daytime driving ban applies on snow-covered roads to protect the toboggan run.
The Gulmalpe is not operated in winter.
The descent takes place on the road and is particularly interesting on cold nights when the snow hardens on the run.

Author’s recommendation
Next to the parking lot is a very popular toboggan hill. It is a great way to end the outing, especially with children.
