- Description
-
This toboggan run in the Kitzbühel region is groomed by a snow cat and stretches for almost 5 km, covering 600 metres in altitude. We can enjoy the charming surroundings while we quietly hike up a forest path. At the top it is then much more "turbulent", as many other winter sports enthusiasts from the nearby ski area use the Trattenbachalm for a refreshment stop.
- Directions
-
Starting from the inn, cross the road and reach the lower end of the toboggan run by descending a short distance through an embankment. Then we follow the toboggan run uphill, which is also the ascent path. At first the ascent is less steep, but in the quiet Trattenbachgraben it becomes steeper and also more winding. With a view of the alpine surroundings, the path then continues to climb until you finally reach the sunny Trattenbachalm after about 2 hours walking time. We enjoy a snack before the sometimes winding, sometimes straight toboggan run quickly descends to its end point. We reach the parking lot after a short walk.
