Sledging in Reith im Alpbachtal: fun for the whole family
Sledging offers fun for all ages. The snow-covered slopes and well-prepared toboggan runs make the region an ideal destination for families, groups, and anyone looking to enjoy an active winter.
The best luge tracks
Reitheralm Natural Toboggan Run: This run is particularly well-suited for families. At roughly 3 kilometres in length with gentle bends, it’s perfect for children and beginners. At the end of the run, it’s just a 15-minute walk back to the centre. When there isn’t enough snow for this toboggan run, both young and old take to sledging on the piste once the lifts have stopped and the skiers have left. Children can still sledge within sight of their parents while they enjoy a drink at the lift café or the Juppistadl.
Wiedersbergerhorn Toboggan Run: For those looking for a bit more excitement, this longer and more challenging run is ideal. It starts right at the cable car’s mountain station and offers breathtaking views of the Alpbachtal valley during the descent.
Natural toboggan runs: In addition to the well-known routes, there are countless natural toboggan runs that offer a true sense of adventure. Perfect for anyone seeking a bit of variety and excitement.

Places to stop: Cabins along the toboggan runs invite you to take a cozy break—perfect for a glass of mulled wine, hot chocolate, or a Tyrolean snack.
