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.

The toboggan run is located in the center of Lappach/Lappago and is 400 m long. The walking time is about 10 minutes. Attention: there is no toboggan rental.

The starting point for the ascent is the village of Telfes/Telves. From Obertelfes/Telves di Sopra you can reach the sunny situated pasture Freundalm, which is open all year round, in approx. 1.5 hours on the tracked toboggan run. After a pleasant rest in the mountain hut, you can enjoy a fun downhill run with the toboggan, which can also be hired directly at the Freundalm. TIP: The toboggan run is illuminated in the evening!
