Idyllic and spectacular natural toboggan run in Scharnitz.
The natural tobogganing trackat Mühlberg in Scharnitz is a little-known gem for sledding enthusiasts. The ascent begins approximately 500 meters west of the Mühlberg parking lot (P4).
The toboggan track gently leads slightly to the left, taking about an hour to reach the summit of Mühlberg at 1,318 meters above sea level. From the top, you’re treated to stunning views over Scharnitz, the Ahrnspitzen, Brunnensteinspitze, and Karwendelspitze. The final steep stretch of the climb becomes the launch point for the 3.1-kilometer descent back into the valley.
This scenic ride doesn’t just cover 340 meters of elevation loss with an average gradient of 12.6%—it also features some thrilling curves along the way. A steady hand and good control are essential for this track.
Key facts about the tobogganing track:
• Length: approx. 3.1 kilometers
• Elevation gain: 340 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, which is also used for snowshoe hiking, 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.
