How long does the descent take?
The operator of the Wildkogel Toboggan Run quotes 30 to 50 minutes to cover the 14 km and 1,300 vertical metres, and the time depends on snow conditions and how often you stop.
Can you toboggan here after dark?
Yes. Wildkogel Toboggan Run is floodlit until 10 pm along its full length, which is why it is described as the world's longest illuminated toboggan run.
