By day and night

Tobogganing with the whole family

Tobogganing by day and night, a hearty snack and a children's punch at a hut and afterwards descending the mountain by torchlight – something you can only do in the mountains.

Would you rather have things more leisurely and not drag the toboggan up the mountain? No problem – our TUFFI Express, a tractor with a covered trailer, will whisk you away from the Kinderhotel Waldhof for a fun toboggan ride once a week, depending on the snow conditions. Or you can simply toboggan down our hotel's own skiing and tobogganing meadow.

3 kilometers

Illuminated toboggan run in Grossarl

A very special experience is promised by tobogganing at night! An illuminated, traffic-free toboggan run with a length of around 3 km awaits you at the Hotel Lammwirt, offering you the chance to whizz down the mountain with a unique backdrop.

The ascent can either be made on foot or you can be taken up by a tractor and trailer. The toboggan rental can be found directly at the Hotel Lammwirt.

Nordic walking

Winter hiking

Crossover exercise with Nordic walking poles trains coordination and moves practically all the muscles in the body. We have prepared carbon poles for your very own Nordic walking tour for winter hiking fans. These can be borrowed from us free of charge!
