Sledge fun
at plateau Zugspitze
There are various tobogganing opportunities around the Nördlicher Schneeferner.
The easiest option is the family toboggan run: short, straightforward, and with a moderate incline, it is ideal for those who want to take it easy or are traveling with small children. The glacier toboggan runs are located a little higher up, on the actual Schneeferner.
With a length of around 500 meters each, plenty of wind and tobogganing fun are guaranteed. The ascent is on foot. Ideal for warming up before heading back down. Together, they form a small but perfect tobogganing paradise in the middle of the glacier.
Those who want to go a little higher can explore the winter hiking trail to the viewpoint at Windloch. The trail is easy to walk and rewards you with breathtaking views over the snow-covered peaks of the Alps.
For families with younger children, the snow playground at the Gletscher 2600 restaurant is ideal. A small slope for sliding, climbing, and romping around, within sight of the sun terrace.
