Whizz down the mountain: Summer tobogganing in Saalfelden

Summer tobogganing Saalfelden: Biberg tobogganing fun as a family excursion from Saalbach Hinterglemm

Why summer tobogganing in Saalefelden is so worthwhile

Sometimes a vacation day doesn’t need much to become great: a bit of courage in the bend, that short tingling sensation in the stomach and children who immediately ask after the ride if you can “do it again”. This is exactly what summer tobogganing in Saalfelden am Biberg is perfect for. It’s an excursion that doesn’t require much preparation, but looks like a really great experience. And the best thing is: you set the pace yourself. Relaxed tobogganing or speeding down with a big grin – both feel like summer.

Biberg summer toboggan run: the numbers that make you want to go

The summer toboggan run on the Biberg is no small thing to “try once”. It is 1.6 km long, runs through 61 bends, has 3 jumps and takes you 345 vertical meters down into the valley. It’s exactly this mix that makes it fun: long enough for a real “woooow”, varied enough for you to remember individual sections and talk about them afterwards.

This is how the excursion works: chairlift up, toboggan down

You start at the bottom, take the Huggenberg chairlift to the top and take your time there before setting off. The view is good, the air is clear and you realize: this is not an “amusement park”, this is mountain summer.

Then you get in, fasten your seatbelt and off you go. Curve after curve, sometimes faster, sometimes braking, then rolling again. And at some point you get to the bottom and think to yourself that the run could be a bit longer.

Who it’s suitable for and what you should look out for

Summer tobogganing in Saalfelden is a great tip for families, but also for anyone who likes to do something completely different on vacation than hiking and mountain railroads. The only important thing is that the toboggan run remains closed in bad or rainy weather. This is a safety precaution and makes perfect sense. Depending on the weather, the chairlift may still be in operation.

More than tobogganing: Nature and stone, Huggenberg, Kiddy Park

If you still have energy left after the speed rush, you can really extend the Biberg day. This is practical because you don’t “just” have to toboggan, but can make a complete family outing out of it.

Nature and Stone Theme Park
From the mountain station, you can reach the Nature and Stone Theme Park on a short hike. This is perfect if you want to get back into a calmer rhythm after the fast pace.

Berggasthof Huggenberg with adventure playground and petting zoo
At the Berggasthof Huggenberg, play facilities await that children often enjoy at least as much as the toboggan run. Ideal as a break or as a finale before heading back.

Simon Kiddy Park at the valley station
At the bottom of the valley station there is the Simon Kiddy Park as an additional program. Perfect if the kids haven’t “finished playing” after tobogganing and would rather continue testing right away.

Good to know: Weather, opening hours and Joker Card advantage

The most reliable way to find the current opening times and seasonal information is to go directly to the official information. There you will also find information on the closure of the toboggan run in bad weather.

Back at the Rosentalerhof

Back at the Rosentalerhof, it’s easy to end the day: first a dip in the pool, then a drink on the sun terrace and just relax. And while you enjoy the evening, the children can let off steam at Montelino’s Erlebnisalm.
