SPORT SPECIAL.... FUN WITH FAMILY - `Snow' Much Fun

FUN WITH FAMILY - `Snow' Much Fun


Tobogganing requires little skill, hence, it is the perfect witner sport to enjoy with your family

One of the best ways to get your kids started on the snow, is by Tobogganing in Bavaria.Tobogganing is a sport similar to sledging, which allows an individual to sit and slide down a snow-clad slope. Think roller coaster on snow to fly along at a fast pace with all controls rested with you. This exciting activity is more sedate than boarding or skiing yet offers a mild adrenaline rush. Hence, it's the perfect option for a family holiday with kids. Tobogganing in Bavaria promises great fun for young and old. In Bavaria, you can find the best toboggan runs for pure fun in the snow. From comfortable toboggan runs to speedy descents ­ there is something for everyone.
Chiemgau, nestled on the foothills of the Alps, offers 300 km of premium winter hiking trails. The gleefully-screeches as you glide past the tranquil snow-topped forests make Chiemgau enjoyable.Marquartstein, a municipality in Chiemgau offers 20 different toboggan runs to choose from. Spanning across 3.5 km in length and runs from the mountain station to the valley station of the Hochplatten cable car.


If you still wish to up the adventure, try night tobogganing with some of the courses floodlit, it makes for a one-of-a-kind experience.


While the course of Chiemgau is milder, Hocheck, a mountain nearby town of Oberaudorf, offers more elevation with an elevation drop of 314m. A four-chair lift takes to reach a 3 metre wide descent point zipping past a down-hill forest path. Come dusk, the run is illuminated by 35 floodlight poles until midnight.


It's perfect for a family outing in the snow. Try it!
