On your marks! Get set! Go! Tobogganing in South Tyrol is a national sport. Tobogganing is fun for young and old, especially when you can negotiate what is sometimes a rather arduous ascent in comfort by riding the chair lift or similar means of transport.
The Plose ski resort has two toboggan runs where tobogganing enthusiasts are guaranteed to get their money's worth. At 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) in length, the “Rudi Run” is the longest toboggan run in South Tyrol and promises fun for the entire family. The run is an easy one in technical terms, and is usually well covered with natural snow.
The “Rossalm-Kreuztal” toboggan run, on the other hand, is much shorter than “Rudi Run” at only 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles), which makes it a good choice especially for newcomers.
Tobogganing in South Tyrol is also a fun and popular thing to do at night. “Moonlight tobogganing” is the name of this convivial type of night sport, and it is offered on Mount Plose every Friday where it is known as “Friday Night Fever.” The lifts and chalets will then remain open until 23:00 (11:00 pm).
