Moonlight down Einkehrschwung.

In the moonlight flit through snowy landscape: Night sledding can be very romantic. Especially when a gondola ride the laborious mountain Emergence spared - and half way along with a campfire waiting Glühwein pot.

 


Neukirchen / Munich - beer in the evening His circle of friends like Andreas Heckl high above Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Martin hut On. To walk back into the valley, he must not worry. Above the door, the horn sledges, with which the society celebration after the end of the valley Hüttengemütlichkeit flits. Only the head lamps throw the spotlight on the forest road on which the sled through the cold winter night hunting. "It's overwhelming every time, in the moonlight through the snowy landscape to drive," says Heckl.

From the romantic nature on their own, the long night sledding for professionally organized tourism event develops. Everywhere in the Alpine ski resorts have their own lanes for sledding Trendsport created. And some also offer night sledding on illuminated slopes including gondola transportation and Hüttengaudi to.

The dinner menu is available for adults 25, for people under 16 years of 15 Swiss francs (around 17 or 11 euros).


An hour on the sled hill


While the "Eiger Run" in about 15 minutes hinabschießt can ski in the "Toboggan Arena Wildkogel" in Tyrol an hour. 14 kilometers winds according to the operating company in Neukirchen "probably the longest run of the World" down the hill.

From the mountain restaurant, a walk of 15 minutes to Wildkogel house, where the long descent over 1300 meters in altitude after Bramberg begins.

If the exit as a whole is too long, can be halfway hut in the "interim" stop or be under the umbrella of the much-title "Ramba Zamba" the sensory delights of après ski surrender. Too long should the Nachtrodler there, however, not fun. By 22 clock every evening, the lights along the rail off. Then the route was completely dark, and despite the departure of timber gangs in the turns quite dangerous, warns Tanja Dreier of Tourismusbüro "leave arena Wildkogel in Neukirchen.

At several places warning signs before particularly steep, winding and confusing sections, says Andreas Heckl, who lives in nearby Grainau. Especially if, as at the moment is little snow, toboggan runs were frozen and, therefore, very quickly, said Jochen Brune from the German Alpine Club (DAV) in Munich. And so far this winter was so little snow that the mountain-luge track until 14 January, started operations - after two years of closure due to lack of snow.
