The village Spiluck above Brixen is known for its numerous hiking trails and lonely peaks especially in Summer. In Winter you find Spiluck as a cozy place for a trip in the snow. Spiluck offers snowy forests with beautiful mountain scenery. Whether by toboggan or on foot, the toboggan run in Spiluck guarantees a great day out. Especially in the early morning the sun shines through the forest and until midday it warms not only the body but also the mind.
This idyllic winter hike starts at the hikers' parking lot at the end of Spiluck Street. From the parking lot above the Gostnerhof Inn, you start along trail no. 2 through the forest. You will immediately notice that the winter hiking trail is also wonderfully suitable for a toboggan run due to its perfectly maintained condition. Again and again you catch fantastic views of the Plose, the Geisler peaks and even the Langkofel and Plattkofel peaks. After about one and a half to two hours you reach the end of the trail below the Scheibenberg mountain, where the peak of the Karspitz towers above the woods in its white dress.
After a well-deserved break with your own snack, you can look forward to an exciting but above all rewarding descent on the toboggan. Always leisurely downhill, but also with faster sections, nothing stands in the way of fun on the toboggan. Of course, you can also walk back to the starting point. Directly at the parking lot, the Gostnerhof Inn invites you to stop and reward yourself with a hot tea, a typical “Marende” or lunch. There are other places to stop in the village center of Spiluck.

With a total length of 6.75 kilometres, the Brimi Winter Run on Mt. Gitschberg is one of the longest toboggan runs in South Tyrol. It leads from the Nesselhütte hut – near the Gitschberg cable car mountain terminal – to Meransen. If you don’t have a toboggan with you, or you simply prefer to travel light, you can rent one at the Gitschberg-Nesselbahn lift terminal.

Families with small children and laid back types will find everything they could wish for on the Rossalm - Kreuztal toboggan run: a gently sloping, wide toboggan track that runs to a welcoming snack hut. The track is approx. 2,5 km long and crosses a sunny landscape with an imposing view of the Dolomites. Walking time approx. 1 hour. You get back on the sled via the new toboggan run (WoodyWalk) to the mountain station of the Plose gondola lift.
