How to make your tobogganing adventure a resounding success

  1. Dress warmly: Alongside the tried and tested onion look, warm and water-repellent clothing keeps you nice and toasty. Just grab your ski clothes – they’ll protect you from the cold. 
  2. Safety first: Helmets aren’t mandatory. Still: Tobogganing is fun and it’s speedy. Protected by a helmet and goggles, you’re on the safe side. 
  3. Code of conduct: Don’t stop or get off the toboggan while you’re on the run! If you absolutely need to stop, make sure to keep to the side of the run. That’s how you don’t endanger others coming down the mountain.
