If you like it more comfortable you can take the Nebelhornbahn cable car to Seealpe station and take the toboggan run to get down again. There are even toboggans for hire.

Or if you want to combine toboggan fun with a nice walk you can choose the toboggan run leading down from Gaisalpe where you can have a meal after the walk in the magnificent landscape of the Alps. And after having walked up there, the way down on the tobogganwill be even more fun.

Or do you want to only watch your children have fun either skiing or going down a slope on the toboggan? Then you can go to Kratsbichl, enjoy the sun on one of the deck chairs and watch your children whilst enjoying a cup of coffee and cake.
