Tobogganing in Obergurgl-Hochgurgl

Sledging on a winter holiday in Gurgl

Tobogganing is a sociable activity during a winter holiday in Gurgl for families, couples and groups of friends, offering a change of pace away from the ski slopes. From the Hotel & Apartment Alpenland in Obergurgl, you can reach the floodlit Hochgurgl natural toboggan run in around 7 minutes by car or by ski bus. This makes it easy to fit a day’s tobogganing into your winter itinerary, whether during the day or in the evening.

Fun tobogganing on the Hochgurgl natural toboggan run

The Hochgurgl natural toboggan run, which is guaranteed to have snow, runs from the middle station of the Hochgurglbahn down to the valley station in Pill. Over a distance of around 3 kilometres and with 25 bends, you’ll enjoy fast-paced descents along a clearly marked route. The Hochgurglbahn provides a convenient way up, so you can enjoy the Obergurgl–Hochgurgl toboggan run several times in a row. The ascent is included for all ski pass holders.

Night tobogganing in Hochgurgl and night-time skiing

Every Thursday, the floodlit cable car becomes a highlight once darkness falls. During the Hochgurgl night tobogganing event, the Hochgurgl cable car runs from 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm. Night-time skiing is also available at the same time. A free toboggan bus takes guests from Obergurgl and Sölden to the valley station.

Sledging for children at the Wiesenlift and Mahdstuhllift

At the Wiesenlift and the Mahdstuhllift in Obergurgl, children can have fun on sledge and ‘Rutschblattn’. The short, easy-to-navigate slope is ideal for first attempts in the snow and for relaxing afternoons close to the hotel.
