Quietly situated toboggan run without refreshment facilities, but with lots of nature.
If you’re looking for peace and quiet while tobogganing, the moderately difficult Kreidegraben natural tobogganing track in Scharnitz is the perfect choice.
From the P2 Naturpark Infozentrum parking lot, it takes about 45 minutes to reach the starting point of the natural tobogganing track, with an elevation gain of 200 meters. On this approximately 1-kilometer-long, moderately challenging toboggan run, you’ll rarely encounter other sledders.
After the climb, we recommend taking a short break to enjoy the tranquility. As there are no refreshment stops along the toboggan track, we suggest packing a small snack or warming up afterward at one of the restaurants in Scharnitz (see the list of restaurants).
Key facts about the tobogganing track:
• Length: approx. 1.2 kilometers
• Elevation gain: 200 m
• Lift assistance: none
• Lighting: none
Important note: Even for experienced sledders, this track is a challenge! For children, beginners, and family outings, we recommend the sledding tracks at Hämmermoosalm or Katzenkopfhütte instead.
Recommended equipment:
For this track, a sports toboggan and helmet are required. Multiple layers of clothing, warm gloves, a hat, and waterproof jackets and pants provide protection and comfort. Sturdy boots with good traction (for braking) are essential, while poles and crampons (spikes) can provide extra support during the ascent.
Additionally, sleds and toboggans can be rented at various rental points throughout the Region Seefeld.
Track conditions:
The tobogganing track is not groomed or checked daily, so usage is at your own risk. We strongly recommend checking the current conditions directly with the Information Office (+43 5088 0) before heading out. The ascent is the best opportunity to assess the track—if in doubt, it’s better to turn back. Please note that the ascent and descent share the same trail, so be prepared for possible traffic in both directions.
All up-to-date information on the status of tobogganing tracks, winter hiking trails, and ice facilities can be found in our Region Seefeld winter sports report.
