Tobogganing is often underestimated as a sport because it looks so easy. You simply sit on a sled and whiz down the slope or the toboggan run. Unfortunately, some accidents happen every year while tobogganing, as it is not entirely safe. Above all, you need to be able to brake quickly and steer correctly in curves.
It is also important to recognize the snow conditions and to drive very carefully when there is black ice or to avoid tobogganing altogether.
So before you set off on the fast and sometimes dangerous official toboggan runs of the individual ski areas, you should practice a little. There are several toboggan runs in Tyrol where you can simply pull the toboggan up as far as you want and then safely slide back down.
A popular practice slope is located in Seefeld, opposite the “Seekirchl” church, right next to the ice skating rink. You can also rent sledges cheaply at the ice skating rink. If you're already a little experienced, you can try the relatively easy toboggan run near St. Sigmund im Sellrain. You can park in the Gleirsch Alm parking lot in St. Sigmund. The toboggan is then pulled on foot for about 30 to 40 minutes to the Gleirsch Alm, first on the toboggan run (a road) itself, then through the forest, the last part again on the toboggan run.
