The toboggan run
Winter tobogganing offers fun and adventure for the whole family.
The 6.5 km-long natural toboggan run on the Wallberg is one of the longest and most challenging in Germany. The descent into the valley takes around half an hour. As the run is one of the more challenging ones due to its length and gradient, it is not suitable for very young children.
As well as the sporting activity, tobogganing also focuses on experiencing nature. The route winds through snow-covered forests and across white meadows, giving the toboggan run its idyllic, wintry charm.
Opening hours of the toboggan run
Our toboggan run is a natural snow toboggan run and relies (almost) entirely on natural snowfall for safe operation. As the run is relatively steep, a stable and sufficiently thick layer of snow is required to ensure that every run can be enjoyed safely and without worry.
Even in the event of heavy ice or large amounts of fresh snow, we may have to close the toboggan run for safety reasons.
As soon as, and whenever, the toboggan run is open, we will post an update on our website.
When conditions are suitable, the toboggan run is open from 9 am to 4 pm.
The toboggan hire at the valley station is open from 8.45 am to 3.30 pm.

Safety first
The toboggan run is closed daily from 5.00 pm until 9.00 am whilst grooming work is carried out. During this time, the snow groomers are in operation; there is a risk of fatal injury!
Our snow groomers are in operation every day throughout the winter season to ensure our guests enjoy a perfectly groomed toboggan run. Depending on snow and weather conditions, our staff are out on the run with heavy machinery in the evening after the lifts have closed or in the early hours of the morning.
