When the first snow bathes the Lofer mountains in glistening white, one of the most beautiful seasons begins: The time for happy tobogganing, laughing children and cozy evenings in a mountain hut. Around your vacation apartments at the Grubhof a true winter paradise awaits guests who want to enjoy the snow – actively or leisurely.
Dream times on natural toboggan runs
In the Salzburger Saalachtal there are a total of almost 10 kilometers of natural toboggan runs that run through the snowy valleys – from St. Martin via Lofer to Unken and Weißbach. Particularly idyllic:
- Maria Kirchental (St. Martin bei Lofer): A 2.14 km long natural toboggan run, romantically lit with torches, invites you to enjoy atmospheric night rides. After the ascent, a cozy stop at the Kirchental inn awaits you – perfect for warming up and taking in the view of the valley. Toboggans can be hired from the innkeeper.
- Other toboggan runs in view: the toboggan meadow on the former ski slope in St. Martin bei Lofer, the road to Almenwelt Lofer or the Hochalm natural toboggan run in Heutal offer a variety of winter fun, some with night-time lighting.
Simply hire – stress-free tobogganing fun
Guests at the Grubhof don’t have to lug a sledge around: It can be conveniently rented on site – for example from:
- Sport Stockklauser in Lofer, one of the toboggan rental shops directly in the village, with rental prices starting at around € 7 for night tobogganing.
- Various ski schools and sports stores in Lofer and the surrounding area offer sledges and suitable winter equipment.
