Sledding enjoyment for the whole family

Sit down, grab hold and push off, on the longest sled run in Salzburger Sportwelt. From the valley station of the 8-passenger Königslehen gondola in Radstadt, you will quickly reach the top of the sled run at 1571 m above sea level. There, you will begin an amazing 6 km-long sledding adventure. As all sportsmen and -women know, good nutrition is vital. That’s why you should definitely make a detour beforehand to the Habersatter Sportalm on the summit, where you will be treated to an irresistible selection of hearty snacks. For those night owls amongst you, this sled run is also open Tuesday and Friday evenings between 6 and 9 PM. Visibility will never be an issue either, since the sled run is illuminated after dark.

Winter activities away from the piste

Big or small, you are guaranteed to have great fun on the machine-groomed natural ice rink at the sports center in Radstadt. If you didn’t happen to put your skates in your luggage, no worries, you will be able to rent a pair right there at the rink.

You can also look forward to another fun experience at the ice-stock rink. From Monday through Saturday, you can rent all the equipment you need. If this rink happens to be full, your other option is the ice-stock rink at the Gnadenalm, where they welcome groups of 4 to 50 people.

Amid enchanting landscapes, you are certain to be utterly captivated by a snowshoe hike through the pristine Pongau countryside. 20 kilometers of cleared winter hiking paths and beautiful snowshoeing routes await you. If you are inexperienced, we suggest joining a guided snowshoe hike offered every Wednesday, during which you will also be introduced to the equipment.
