Tobogganing tips for fun away from the slopes

Whether tobogganing during the day, at dusk or at night - you will enjoy a ride full of energy. To ensure that your tobogganing adventure as a couple or with the whole family goes off without a hitch, take note of the following tips.

Tips and tricks for tobogganing:

The perfect clothing

Yes, posture is not the only thing that matters when tobogganing. It's best to wear warm ski underwear. That way you won't get cold and the tobogganing fun can continue.

The most important accessory is the toboggan, also known as a sledge

Whether a sports or children's toboggan, foldable, made of wood or aluminum - the choice is huge. If you have your own toboggan, you should pay attention to high-quality workmanship and stability. A safe and well-built construction not only ensures fun, but also longevity. If you don't have your own toboggan, you will find the right model at the numerous rental stations in the Montafon .

Choosing the right toboggan run

If you are traveling with small children, it is worth checking the conditions of the route in advance. Safety and comfort are paramount. Pay particular attention to the following aspects:

  1. Sufficient width of the toboggan run to allow enough space for safe riding.
  2. Good visibility: A headlamp is recommended for night tobogganing - unless you are on the floodlit runs in Garfrescha or on the Golm.
  3. Sufficient run-out at the finish to ensure a relaxed and safe descent.
Please do not stand still

Do not stop or dismount during the toboggan run. If you can't avoid it, get off quickly and take the toboggan off the track. This way you won't hinder the next tobogganers.

It all depends on your posture

The right seat is the be-all and end-all. It all starts with a stable position - especially if you have children with you. Stay alert, be present and avoid risky maneuvers. Sit up straight, put your legs in position and the ride can begin.
