Description

Start your athletic hike at the Ellmauer Pfarrkirche and follow the road uphill via the district of Kirchbichl towards jezz Alm (1,250 m). If you wish, you can recharge your batteries at the surrounding huts such as the Treichlhof, jezz Alm or Blattlhof while enjoying the magnificent panoramic view. Now you can whiz down the 4.5-kilometre-long toboggan run with your own toboggan, fun is guaranteed! Those who prefer the more leisurely option can take a comfortable ride back to the valley station in Going with the Astbergbahn and hike back to Ellmau along the Marchstraße.
Of course, you can also do this winter hike in reverse order (starting with the Astbergbahn).
Tip: Toboggan rental is available in the sports shops in the village.
