Ice skateng
An ice skating rink (300 m²) under the open sky makes skating even more enjoyable. In Altenmarkt-Zauchensee there is a natural ice rink in the community park. The ice skating area is open daily from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. (depending on the weather and ice conditions).

Tobogganing
And toboggan fans will also enjoy it here! There are four toboggan runs around Zauchensee, three of them with night lighting. Our tip: The Sonnalm, managed by our family, is an ideal starting point for fun tobogganing time. Just take the “toboggan taxi” or walk up there on the Strimsalmweg (ca. 1 hour). After a little refreshment then off you go down to the valley on a toboggan. Toboggans can be rented directly at the mountain tavern. And don’t forget: at the Sonnalm you must try the delicious goat’s cheese!
