The world's longest illuminated toboggan run

Sledging on the world’s longest floodlit toboggan run

A 14-kilometre natural toboggan run, a vertical drop of around 1,300 metres and a ride up on the Smaragdbahn: tobogganing in the Wildkogel Arena is one of the most impressive winter experiences in the SalzburgerLand. The run leads from the mountain station down into the valley to Bramberg and offers excellent conditions both during the day and in the evening.

Equipped with a helmet, gloves and sturdy footwear, the tobogganing fun begins right at the mountain station. The fully illuminated run allows for long descents and has been awarded the International Toboggan Run Seal of Quality in double gold.

Tip: Wearing a helmet makes sledging even safer!

Unfortunately, dogs have to stay at home whilst we’re out tobogganing.

The risk of them getting into an accident is too high.

There are several sports shops and equipment hire outlets around the Smaragdbahn valley station. You

can find their contact details >here<

For larger groups, we recommend booking the sledges in advance. You

can find the contact details >here<

Of course, you are welcome to use our toboggan runs with your own sledge

The toboggan run is NOT a hiking trail and is always very busy. We therefore do not recommend walking along the toboggan run.

The mountain restaurants and huts are also keen to treat you to some delicious food. A cold or hot drink or two will make your evening tobogganing even more fun 😉.
