Tobogganing & sledding: where to go

Tobogganing and sledding provide downhill recreation across alpine slopes and specialized tracks, ranging from traditional wooden sled descents on natural snow to alpine coasters mounted on rails. While snow-covered sled runs operate primarily during the winter season, rail toboggans and summer runs allow visitors to experience descents during spring, summer, and autumn across select mountain resorts.

Across the Alps, tracks vary substantially in length, setting, and infrastructure. In Val Thorens, France, visitors can ride the 6-kilometer Cosmojet track starting from the Peclet Funitel arrival point, which is the longest toboggan run in France. Schladming in Austria provides the 7-kilometer natural Hochwurzen Toboggan Run, accessible by the Hochwurzen Gondola and known for night sledding. In Davos, Switzerland, the 2.8-kilometer natural Schatzalp Sledging Run is reached via a historic funicular railway. Sölden offers a 7.3-kilometer natural track descending from Gaislachalm to the valley floor with partial night illumination, while Montgenèvre in France operates the Monty Luge, a 1.4-kilometer rail toboggan starting at the top of the Chalvet gondola.

Options also cater to varied skill levels and preferences, from family-friendly hills like the Hüreli sledding hill in Davos to mountain coasters such as the Funbob Haunold in Innichen / San Candido, which operates across both summer and winter seasons. Whether descending groomed snowy paths or navigating mechanical tracks, these runs provide accessible mountain descents outside standard ski terrain.
