Hochwurzen Toboggan Run: Frequently Asked Questions

Can you do more than one descent in an evening?

Yes. Hochwurzen Toboggan Run is open from 19:00 to 23:00 in the evening while the Gipfelbahn carries sledgers uphill until 21:30, and a descent takes around 30 minutes, so two runs are comfortable.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Hochwurzen Toboggan Run is wide enough for safe riding while still offering bends and speed for confident sledgers. The route follows a mountain road rather than a narrow forest path, which helps first-timers control their line.

Where can you stop for food?

The Hochwurzenalm and the Seiterhütte sit on the route of Hochwurzen Toboggan Run. After a hut stop the operator asks guests to rejoin the toboggan track rather than descend the adjacent ski pistes.

How does it compare with Ischgl's night run?

Both are 7 kilometres, but Hochwurzen Toboggan Run is open by day as well as in the evening, whereas the Ischgl route is restricted to tobogganing evenings. Schladming also allows repeat runs thanks to the later lift cut-off.

Where does the run finish?

Hochwurzen Toboggan Run ends at the valley station of the Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen in Rohrmoos, above Schladming, so you finish where you parked and where the lift ticket office is.
