If you find yourself in the enchanting Hochkönig region, you’re bound to hear about the Jufenalm. Known for its chic, Instagram-worthy Boho vibes, this stylish mountain retreat is more than just a hotel—it’s an experience. While the aesthetic appeal of the Jufenalm is undeniable, what truly caught our attention was its 2.5-kilometer natural toboggan run.
The hike up to the Jufenalm is fairly easy, taking about 45 minutes. The trail is separate from the toboggan track, which makes for a relaxed ascent. Once at the top, you can either explore the fancy restaurant/bar or get straight to the fun—grab a sledge for an 8 EUR fee and prepare for an exhilarating ride down.
The track, along with the hiking trail, is illuminated in the evening, making it the perfect adventure after dark. Tobogganing under the stars, with the snowy path lit against the mountain backdrop, was nothing short of magical. Whether you're there for the thrill, the ambiance, or both, it’s an experience that’s guaranteed to leave you smiling all the way down.
