Tobogganing
Type: Naturrodelbahn
In the deep, snow-covered winter months, tobogganing enthusiasts can reach the picturesque Hämmermoosalm via cleared hiking trails directly from the final parking lot P5 Salzbach in the Gaistal. The beginner- and family-friendly ascent takes about 30 minutes through wild and romantic forest areas to the rustic mountain hut at an altitude of 1,417 meters. Here, you may occasionally encounter harpist Albert, who beautifully complements the regional delicacies and steaming hot drinks with his music in the wooden alpine hut.
For sporty sledders, an alternative is the slightly steeper Ganghoferweg through the forest, which leads to the Hämmermoosalm in about 20 minutes.
The two-kilometer descent is freshly groomed after new snowfall, ensuring optimal conditions for tobogganers of all ages. Alternatively, you can also enjoy the ascent via a horse-drawn carriage ride.
