At the top, the plateau awaits you with a fantastic panorama, WinterHikingPath, slopes for the whole family and the FunRide for all ages and levels of ability. If you didn’t bring your skis or snowboard or need a little break from the all the action on the slopes, try some toboggan fun with our PistenBock. On a specially designed course separated off from the other pistes you’ll adjust your helmet, hang on tight, and tackle the turns. Practice makes perfect - you’re definitely going to want to repeat this experience!
