The first form of summer toboggan was the alpine slide, which started in its present form in the 1970s. Josef Wiegand had envisioned the idea of creating a roller coaster ride for ski resorts that would take advantage of the topography of the land, rather than building a structure to create the elevation changes that traditional roller coasters required.
Located in Toboggan Valley; Snake and Hillbilly Slides: An area with slides set into the hillside. Splash Attack: game with buttons to press and fire water jets. Tot's Play: A special area designated for very young visitors which is located next to the Toboggan. Squirrel Tower: A tall tower themed around the island's red squirrels.
The resort also has the world's only summer toboggan run with a 360-degree loop. The Hocheck cable car is a 1450 metres long with an altitude increase of 310 metres, and its station is installed on 16 columns and was built in five months in 2002.
