Kids’ programme

Tobogganing – a great pleasure

The Bregenzerwald boasts the best conditions for enjoyable family holidays. Friendly hosts in the hotels, guest houses, holiday apartments and on the farms offering holidays ensure the right setting for this.

Tobogganing with children Almost all towns and villages have one or several toboggan runs, many of which are illuminated in the evening. This includes many runs which children can ride alone, or on their parents’ toboggan. Toboggans are available for rent in many towns and villages. The starting points of several toboggan runs can be easily reached by lift (→ page 74).

Well-supervised in the ski schools The Bregenzerwald’s ski schools are well-known for their child-friendly programmes. You can find further information on selected offers in the chapter Ski and Board (→ page 5).
