Sur les pistes de luge du Sud-Tyrol

In Compatsch (opposite the church) there is a small toboggan park, which can be used both as a toboggan run and a sliding hill. Patrick Lambacher, former world champion in tobogganing from Villnöss, offers free tobogganing courses three times a week, where participants can learn tips and tricks for proper braking and riding technique.

Outside the course times, the toboggan park is open to everyone and accessible at any time!

Tobogganing at your own risk!

The Speikboden ski area is a place with great variety – above all else when it comes to what is available in the way of activities. It is not just skiing and snowboarding that are the order of the day, but also sledding, a winter sport with a huge fun factor that is very popular especially with families and children. In this ski area, there are two sled runs at once, one of which can boast the distinction of being the longest sled run in all South Tyrol-Südtirol. The starting point of both sled runs is located at the mountain terminal which can be reached without any problems with the Speikboden cable car.

With a length of 10 km (6.2 miles), sledders leisurely head down a very well-groomed sled run – which can even be covered with man-made snow, if necessary – all the way to Lutago-Luttach. The second sled run, which is just as wide with a total length of 8 km (5 miles) has the same starting point, but after a couple of miles it turns off toward Rio Bianco-Weißenbach. From either of the destinations, sledders can be picked up again by the ski bus or public bus and taken back to the valley terminal to head up again. 
Also particularly popular is the weekly Rodelgaudisledding party, a sledding event that is open to everyone.

6,2 km tobogganing fun! The toboggan run Kottersteg is reachable on foot from St. Johann/S. Giovanni, or with the ski-lift Klausberg in Steinhaus/Cadipietra.
