Sledding in Kühtai
First up through the snow-covered mountains, then back down into the valley with a rush of speed: sledding in Kühtai is one of the most enjoyable alternatives to the ski slopes.
14 switchbacks full of winter fun
The toboggan run at the Graf Ferdinand Haus is located at over 2,000 meters and winds its way back down into the valley over a distance of about 1,300 meters. After a roughly 40-minute climb, a varied descent awaits—leisurely for those who want to take it easy, or fast-paced for those who prefer a more athletic challenge.
