01/ Overview

The route

A descent on the Samnaun toboggan run has to be earned: first one has to hike from Samnaun Dorf via Motta Saltuorn to the viewpoint above Val Motnaida, before coming back down the same way on a togoggan.

The toboggan run starts at the viewpoint at around 2,140 m, near Zigerköpfli. The nearest bus stop, Samnaun-Ravaisch, Sportanlagen, is around 700 m away; there is no direct public transport connection at the starting point. From the highest point, the three-kilometre descent begins, dropping approximately 300 metres in elevation by the time it reaches the village.

Initially, the toboggan run leads through forest, which characterises the upper section of the route. Further down, the terrain opens out into meadows and pastures as the houses of Samnaun draw closer. On the final section, the descent enters the built-up area; the Maria Hilf chapel and Hotel Post lie slightly off the route. After around 40 minutes, the toboggan run finally ends in Samnaun Dorf, just a few steps from the Samnaun-Dorf, Votlas bus stop.

03/ Conditions

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Sledding is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
