Toboggan Fun for everyone

With more than 12 km of toboggan runs, the Plose is the right place for all those you love sledding. Tobogganing in a snowy winter landscape is a healthy and sporty nature experience, which assures fun for everyone.

Whether you love to walk for a while and have a nice meal in one of the inviting huts on the Plose before sledding gently back or  you prefer to jump right into the tobogganing fun: on the Plose you will find what you are looking for.

You can choose between the toboggan slope RudiRun, 9 km, and the toboggan run from Rossalm back to the gondola lift Plose which is well suited for families or the one to Skihütte/Rifugio Sci, the latter are both a combination between tobogganing and hiking.

Please click on Plose Live to verify that the toboggan run that suits you best is open. Should the toboggan runs not guarantee safe tobogganing, we reserve the right to close the toboggan runs temporarily and without notice.  

RudiRun – with 9 km one of the longest toboggan runs in South Tyrol

This 9 km long toboggan run is the ultimate pleasure for the whole family. Idyllic, varied and always good for a surprise. The fun is guaranteed already by the fact that the run never ends.

The toboggan run begins at the top station of the gondola lift Plose and on the first kilomters the run is technically easy and offers fun for all the family. The lower section is ideal for fans of toboggan sports, as there are long straight stretches. The toboggan run ends 1000 metres below its start, at the bottom station of the gondola lift.

The length of the whole track alone is remarkable, and a challenge for every slider. Depending on the snow conditions, there may be fast stretches and technically challenging sections. In any case, on the RudiRun only stable sledges are allowed. No Bobs!

Hiking and Tobogganing to the Rossalm

On the toboggan run Rossalm – Kreuztal families with small children will find all that they expect. A broad, very slightly increasing hiking trail starts at the arrival of the gondola lift Plose in Kreuztal and leads to the Rossalm, which could not be located in a more beautiful place. The trail is 2.5 km long and runs in a sunny area with impressive views of the Dolomites. Hiking time is approximately 1 hour.

After a pleasurable break in the hut you take your way back. After the rather flat part of the way you sit down on your toboggan and enjoy the ride down (approx. 2 km). There is nothing more to stop you from experiencing a fantastic sledding excursion. This toboggan run is well adapted to young and old.

Rent the right equipment

Please take care that you use a stable toboggan of good quality, a helmet, good winter clothes and proper winter shoes, ski goggles and gloves. If you need any of this equipment, contact the local ski rental Rent and Go – Service Erwin Stricker. You may find it at the bottom station of the gondola lift Plose. There you get all you need for a day on the toboggan, even children’s back rests for toboggans.  Sportservice Erwin Stricker rents out all kind of winter equipment. You can rent a toboggan, helmets and more also at the Infoshop, right next to the top station of the gondola lift Plose.

Security

We recommend a helmet also for sledding. If you have little experience with tobogganing, then the Tobogganing Days offer you a great opportunity to learn this Sport.

In addition, Sportservice Erwin Stricker offers toboggans that have an innovative light system which perfectly lights out the slope in front of you.
