Note: Our sledding run is a natural sledding track. It is groomed at night by our experienced team with a snow groomer to ensure optimal sledding fun. Before night sledding, the track is closed for re-grooming from 17:00 to 19:00.
During unfavorable temperatures or on particularly busy days, there may still be uneven, icy, or soft spots – especially in the afternoon. Our tip: Sled in the morning for the best snow conditions!

A new highlight on the local mountain of Sterzing / Vipiteno!
