- Description
-
The chairlift Uga-Express takes us comfortably up to the Elsenalpstube, where we can stop for a bite to eat. On beautiful days, the sun terrace of the hut is ideal for this stop. Afterwards, a varied and partly demanding route awaits all tobogganing fans. The tour runs except for a small section off the ski slopes and impresses above all with its breathtaking mountain panorama with Glatthorn, Damülser Mittagspitze and Schesaplana. Racy, steep sections and sharp curves are not uncommon during the tour.Another highlight is the night tobogganing on the track: every Wednesday and Friday the tobogganing pleasure is extended from 19:30 - 21:30.
- Directions

From the parking lot of the Uga-Express chairlift, we will be taken up on the same and then begin our wild ride on the natural toboggan run, the starting point of which is behind the Elsenalpstube. From there we descend for 2.7 km, leaving a crisp 440 metres of altitude behind us.
