01/ Overview

The route

The sledge run Rossweid is a highlight in the Sörenberg winter sports area, especially for families with small children. At first, it is not that steep and promising. Then, it becomes faster and passes part of the ski slope through the unique biosphere area.

The descent begins at the Rossweid stop at around 1,460 m, the highest point on the route. Berggasthaus Rossweid stands close to the starting point. The toboggan run initially crosses open terrain. Views extend across the slopes around Sörenberg as the route descends steadily towards the valley.

Over its two kilometres, the route loses around 300 metres in elevation. Beyond the open ground, it skirts wet meadows before later entering the forest. The character of the ride changes accordingly: broad and open at the top, then more sheltered among the trees further down. After just under half an hour, the first houses of Sörenberg draw closer. The descent ends at the valley station; the Sörenberg (Talst. Rossweid) stop is only a few steps from the finish.

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.
