Romantic horse-drawn carriage rides
Into the Gontal nature conservation area with 2 horse power taking you to the Pritzhütte in Katschberg. Wonderful for couples or for the whole family.
From the Gamskogelhütte, race down into the valley on a toboggan
Either by day or at night, tobogganing from the Gamskogelhütte is always great fun and makes a great atmosphere.
It takes about 45 min to walk from the Alpenhaus Katschberg.1640 up to the hut, then you head back down into the valley on the 1.5 km toboggan run. Every Tuesday and Saturday the run is lit for night tobogganing.
