Tobogganing: Fun on two runners

Sledges and sleighs have served Alpine people since time immemorial as means of transport across the snow. Lunge- and bob-sleigh racing down artificial ice tracks have become exciting Olympic sport disciplines with racers reaching 90 mph. In South Tyrol sledging is also a more relaxed activity best enjoyed in jolly company: first the climb with the sled ‘on a lead’, then fun and refreshments in a congenial mountain hut, followed by the brisk, exhilarating descent.

Here are a few examples for unlimited tobogganing fun in our immediate vicinity
