Safety first: summer tobogganing on the Karkogel

Children up to 6 years of age and children with disabilities can experience the toboggan run together with an adult. Children aged 6 and over who are tall enough to apply the brakes are allowed to rush down the summer toboggan run alone with their own child seat. A seat belt is a must for big and small curve fans! The toboggan's centrifugal brake ensures that little racing drivers don't get too fast: The speed is automatically reduced to a maximum of 30 km / h.

Rapid curves, steep inclines, rapid tunnel passages and also fast shooting stretches - who still has time to enjoy the view? The goal is reached far too quickly! Now there is only one thing: into the mountain railway and up again on the Karkogel.
