Adventure & Other
SUMMER TOBOGGAN
With a length of 1,920 m, the new summer toboggan run from Madritsche (1,919 m) to Tressdorfer Alm (1,590 m) is the longest summer toboggan run in Carinthia and THE hit for the summer. The toboggan run is easy to use and unbelievably fun. No previous experience required, the downhill speed is controlled using a special joystick. The toboggans can be transported up the mountain easily on the Millennium-Express.
WET ‘N’ WILD RIVER TUBING FUN
Completely safe fun with a touch of wild water adventure – even in the low season, rain or shine! Float the Gail River on non-capsizable inner tubes with complete wild water gear (wet suit, swim vest and helmet). Rapids and wild water swimming are good not only for cooling off on a hot summer day, they are also loads of fun! River tubing requires no special courage or condition, making it the perfect way to discover the secrets of the wild water world. For groups of 5 persons or more, children aged 8 and up, duration approx. 1.5 - 2 hours.
