The majority of the run can be accessed in comfort on the gondola: to the middle station for Stiglreith or further up to Sulzstich. Only the upper two kilometres of the run are not accessible by lift so you have to walk up if you want to do this section. The toboggan run is illuminated two evenings a week from Sulzstich. If you want an even longer run, you can walk up to the rustic Rosskogelhütte mountain hut from Sulzstich in 30 minutes. This upper section is not lit but it takes the tobogganing fun up to an impressive ten kilometres.
