Ascent with cable cars & shuttle

Tobogganing in the Chiemgau Alps promises unforgettable descents through breathtaking scenery. But before the adventure begins, there is often the ascent to the toboggan run. Fortunately, there are modern solutions in many areas to make this ascent as pleasant as possible.

One of the most popular options is the ascent by mountain railway. It takes tobogganing enthusiasts effortlessly to the starting points of the toboggan runs high up in the mountains. For example, the Hochplattenbahn in Marquartstein takes you up to the Hochplatte and back down the three-kilometre run on a toboggan.

In addition to the mountain railway, some providers also offer a shuttle service, for example the Hindenburg Hütte in Reit im Winkl offers a bus transfer from the Reit im Winkl tourist information centre and from the Blindau car park up to the Hindenburghütte . This shuttle provides convenient transport directly to the toboggan runs, without long walks or arduous ascents on foot.

Thanks to these modern transport options, tobogganing in the Chiemgau Alps is not only a wintry pleasure, but also a comfortable and stress-free experience for everyone.

Tips for tobogganing

The right equipment

The right equipment is crucial when tobogganing in order to glide safely and comfortably through the snow. Here are some important things to consider for your next tobogganing adventure:

  • Sledges: The most important piece of equipment is, of course, the sled itself. It is important to make sure that it is stable and well-built to ensure a safe riding experience. There are different types of sledges, from classic wooden sledges to modern plastic models. If you don't have your own sledge, you can of course hire one.
  • Helmet: Safety first! A helmet is essential when sledging, especially for children. It protects the head from injury in the event of a fall.
  • Warm clothing: This means a waterproof jacket and trousers, warm gloves or mittens, a hat or headband. Of course, warm and sturdy shoes are important in order to be able to brake better.
  • Sunglasses or ski goggles: Even on cloudy days, the reflection of sunlight on the snow can be dazzling. Sunglasses or ski goggles protect your eyes from glare and UV radiation.
  • First aid kit: plasters, disinfectant and bandages - If someone gets injured, it is always advisable to have a small first aid kit with you to be prepared for any minor injuries.
  • Snacks and water: It is advisable to pack something to drink and energising snacks to keep you going during the tobogganing trip.

Well prepared for tobogganing with children

  • Suitable terrain: If you are tobogganing with children, it is important to find out thoroughly in advance whether the toboggan run is open and passable. Safety comes first with this sporting adventure and it is best to choose a toboggan run that is suitable for children. Flat hills or gentle descents are ideal for younger children, while older children may be able to cope with steeper runs.
  • Suitable sledge: A sledge with a backrest or a harness provides additional safety and comfort for younger children. It is important to ensure that the sledge is stable and glides well on the snow surface.
  • Fun and games: Games such as races or building snowman families can make the outing even more exciting and create great memories.
