Tobogganing in the Tyrolean Oberland
Winter fun in the heart of the Alps
When the first snow falls and the landscape of the Tyrolean Oberland is bathed in sparkling white, it's time for one of the most beautiful winter adventures ever: tobogganing. Here, between imposing peaks, snow-covered forests and glittering slopes, natural and groomed toboggan runs attract families, leisure travellers and action fans alike.

Tobogganing highlights around Prutz
The Tyrolean Oberland is a real paradise for tobogganers. Some of the most beautiful toboggan runs in the region:
🔹 Toboggan run in Fendels
Just a few minutes away from the hotel, you will find the popular toboggan run in Fendels. With a length of over 3.6 km and a considerable difference in altitude, it is ideal for families and adventurers – and on Thursdays it is even open until 10 p.m. under floodlights.
🔹 Bergkastel natural toboggan run (Nauders)
A little further on, the longer natural toboggan run at Bergkastel awaits with an incredible 8 km descent, one of the longest in the Tyrolean Oberland. An experience for everyone who sees tobogganing as a sporting adventure.
🔹 Other local routes
You can also enjoy winter tobogganing in Pfunds, Spiss or on smaller trails around the Kaunergrat area – some of which are illuminated, others leading leisurely through winter landscapes.
Tips for your tobogganing day
🎿 By ski bus
A free ski bus runs from the Hotel Post to many ski and winter destinations in the region – perfect if you want to combine several winter sports in one day.
🌲 Tobogganing by night
Many of the runs – especially those in Fendels – offer night tobogganing under floodlights. This gives the ride a very special magic under the starry sky.
🍫 Refreshment stops
After tobogganing, a break is a must: huts and alpine pastures along the routes offer warm drinks, traditional Tyrolean delicacies and a cosy atmosphere.
And after such a winter's day? Then you return to the Hotel Post Prutz – for well-deserved wellness, regional cuisine and warm Tyrolean hospitality that rounds off your winter holiday perfectly.
