- Description
-
You start your sporty hike at the parish church in Ellmau and follow the road uphill via the Kirchbichl district in the direction of the jezz Alm (1.250 m). If you want, you can fortify yourself at the surrounding huts such as the newly opened Treichlhof, jezz Alm or Blattlhof and enjoy the magnificent panoramic view. Now you can whiz down the 4.5 km toboggan run with your own toboggan, fun is guaranteed! Those who prefer the more leisurely option can take the Astbergbahn back to the valley station in Going.
Of course you can also start this tour with the Astbergbahn.
Tip: toboggan rental in the sports shops in the village. - Directions

This route, which lets the lift take some of the strain, also rewards you with panoramic views. From the Astbergbahn valley station in Going take the chairlift to the summit station at 1,267 metres. After alighting, keep right and follow the winter hiking trail into the forest in the direction of the Brenner Alm. Before heading out on the walk, you might like to fuel up with a bite to eat at the Blattlalm mountain hut. Along the route, the Brenner Alm mountain hut and the Treichlhof refreshment stop also boast beautiful sun terraces and traditional parlours serving Tirolean cuisine. Walk along the road through the district of Kirchbichl into the centre of Ellmau. Anyone looking for something more strenuous can follow this winter hiking trail in the opposite direction and climb uphill instead. In Ellmau, follow the road keeping the church on your left. Tip: If the roads are covered in enough snow, why not take your toboggan with you and return to Ellmau or Going using the toboggan run?
