Villnöss/Funes valley
Glatsch Alm - Dusler Alm - Ranui
The toboggan run starts at 1900 meters and leads along a 5-km-long run of medium difficulty back to the starting point. The descent is identical to the path of ascension and consists of fantastic curves. An ideal winter excursion for the whole family. Note: You can shorten the ascent by taking the bus from Ranui to Zans and then hiking along the footpath to the hut Glatsch Alm. The Dusler hut is closed during the winter!
Respecting other sledgers
Watch out for other sledgers and avoid putting others at risk.
Speed control
Adapt speed to your skills and to the current weather and snow conditions. Keep a minimum safe distance of 8 meters from any other sledger.
Track and crossings
The faster sledger must pay attention to the slower sledger. Mind the warning signs particularly near crossings with walkways and slopes.
Overtaking
Only with clear view, with safe distance and moderate speed.
Stopping
Only with clear view. In case of accident, clear the track as fast as possible.
Climbing and descending
It’s forbidden to sledge on ski slopes. Never sledge with head in front. Pay particular attention when descending at night. Use the marked walkways to climb, remaining on the edge and on the interior side of the slope.
Mind the signs
Always pay attention to warning and information signs.
Fall
Hold the sledge, protect and assist the injured.
Equipment
Appropriate snow boots with good soles (also spikes) and a helmet are necessary for safe descending.
Caution with alcohol
Alcohol impairs the ability to react.
