Kolben chairlift
The ride on the Kolben chairlift takes approximately 18 minutes uphill or downhill.
No, that's not possible. Only two people can be transported per seat.
This also applies if one of the people is a baby. An adult can only travel with one child at a time, regardless of the children's ages.
Children aged 6 and over and 1.25 meters tall are allowed to ride the chairlift alone; children under 6 years of age and 1.25 meters tall are only allowed to ride accompanied by an adult supervisor.

Transport is only possible to a limited extent and should only be undertaken if the stroller/buggy is absolutely essential.
A child carrier or backpack carrier is more practical and therefore recommended for both the chairlift ride and the hike up the mountain.
Transport may be possible if the stroller/buggy is small and foldable and can be transported suspended freely.
Note: The final decision as to whether transport is possible or not is always made by our staff member on site at the chairlift entrance.
However, the transport of twin or sibling strollers and bicycle trailers is excluded.
Wheelchair transport is only possible if the wheelchair is small and foldable, and safe transport without the risk of falling out is ensured. Advance booking is not necessary. Wheelchair transport is free of charge.
Please not: The final decision regarding whether or not transport is possible always rests with our staff member on site at the chairlift entrance.
Unfortunately, our facilities are not barrier-free or suitable for people with disabilities.
The driving speed can be reduced to ensure easier boarding and alighting.

Alpine Coaster
The Alpine Coaster operates year-round, except during our maintenance periods. You can find the exact opening times underOperating Hours/Prices.
In exceptional cases, weather-related closures may occur at short notice - you will always be kept up to date on this on our website.
The Alpine Coaster is a weatherproof toboggan run with magnetic brakes and can be used even in damp weather or light rain. However, operation must be interrupted or completely suspended in the event of thunderstorms, storms, heavy rain, or poor visibility, for example due to fog or heavy snowfall.
The ride time depends on your driving speed. On average, the ride takes between 6 and 9 minutes.
Children aged 3 and older may ride with an adult (aged 16 or older and at least 1.40m tall). Please note: proof of age is required!
Children aged 8 and over are allowed to drive alone if they are at least 1.40 meters tall - both conditions must be met.
Children who are at least 3 years old but cannot yet drive alone can ride along with an adult driver (aged 16 and over and at least 1.40 m tall).
Especially on weekends and during school holidays, there can be waiting times at the Alpine Coaster. Therefore, we recommend coming to ride the Alpine Coaster in the morning, as the waiting times are shorter then.
If you already have your ticket for the Alpine Coaster and don't want to queue, you can use it instead for the descent via the Kolben chairlift (at no extra charge or refund). If you decide to hike down to the valley, your Alpine Coaster ticket remains valid until the end of the season (see the date printed on the ticket) and can be used on any other day until then.
The current waiting time is displayed on our board at the Kolben chairlift ticket office. Please note, however, that the waiting time may change before you arrive at the Alpine Coaster, either on foot or by chairlift.
Basically, you must drive carefully and maintain a minimum distance of 25 meters (even 50 meters in wet conditions) - this distance must not be undercut, therefore you must always be ready to brake!
Please always remember that the person who crashes into the previous sled is always fully liable!
No, that's not possible.
All sleds have two seats and two seatbelts. Riding with three people is not allowed.
No, that's not possible.
No, animals are not allowed on the Alpine Coaster.
No, no luggage, walking sticks and umbrellas are allowed on the Alpine Coaster.
You can transport your handbags, backpacks, walking sticks, umbrellas, etc. to the valley free of charge using the Kolben chairlift, but we cannot accept any liability for this.
The maximum weight per sled is 150 kg. Furthermore, it is essential that the seatbelt can be properly fastened in order to ride the Alpine Coaster.
Skiing in pairs is generally only possible in summer and in dry weather.
In winter, or in damp or wet weather in summer, only one person may ride per sled (exception: children who are not yet able to ride alone due to their age and size).
The maximum weight per sled is 150 kg.
The taller person sits in the back and must be at least 16 years old. Only the person sitting in the back operates the levers to drive or brake.
If the Alpine Coaster has to be closed due to weather conditions, your unused tickets will remain valid until the end of the season (see imprint on the ticket).
Returns and refunds are not possible.
The Alpine Coaster can be accessed at the mountain station on the Kolbensattel.
You can get there either on foot (shortest ascent takes about 1 1/4 hours) or comfortably by the Kolben chairlift.
Our facilities are not barrier-free and only partially suitable for people with disabilities.
The Alpine Coaster is a sports track where speeds of up to 40 km/h can be reached.
For safety reasons, persons who are unable to operate the Alpine Coaster in accordance with regulations due to physical or mental limitations or disabilities are excluded from riding. *
*This decision may only be made on-site by an employee.
Use is possible in dry weather with an accompanying person (aged 16 and over / taller than 1.40 m) who assumes responsibility for the disabled person.
** In winter, as well as in damp or wet conditions in summer, only one person may ride per sled for safety reasons.
- Guests with impaired vision or blind people:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to descend without an accompanying person (aged 16 and over / taller than 1.40 m) during normal operation.
You can contact us by email before your visit – we will be happy to help if possible.
- Guests with impaired hearing or who are deaf:
Riding the toboggan run without an accompanying person (aged 16 and over / over 1.40 m tall) is unfortunately not always possible during normal operation, as communication between riders on the track is exclusively verbal. This poses an increased risk of accidents for those with hearing impairments.
You can contact us by email before your visit – we will be happy to help if possible.
If a departure is possible at the time of your visit, you will receive written information with the rules for the Alpine Coaster at the ticket office when you purchase your ticket.
By signing a form confirming that you have read and understood the rules, you give this information to the boarding assistant when you enter the Alpine Coaster, so that they know you are familiar with the rules.
Children aged 8 and over are allowed to drive alone if they are at least 1.40 meters tall - both conditions must be met.
Children who are at least 3 years old but cannot yet drive alone can ride along with an adult driver (aged 16 and over and at least 1.40 m tall).
No, that's not possible. There are no online sales; you can only buy tickets directly on site.
For safety reasons, the following persons are not permitted to ride the Alpine Coaster:
- Children under three years of age
- Pregnant women
- persons under the influence of alcohol or other drugs
- Persons who, for example, due to physical or mental limitations, cannot properly sit on the sled or operate it properly, are excluded from the ride for safety reasons.
Use may be permitted accompanied by a professional or a trusted person who will then assume responsibility for the user. This must be decided on a case-by-case basis for safety reasons.
Note: For safety reasons, the use of the sleds by two people is not possible in winter, as well as in damp or wet weather in summer and in rain!
Children and young people must be able to prove their age upon request.
