Sonnenstein-Serlespark summer toboggan run
The day begins with a hike from Medraz up to the Alpengasthof Sonnenstein. The wide, easy-to-walk path leads leisurely through the forest, accompanied by the scent of fresh spruce trees and the gentle rustling of the trees. Again and again, the view opens up onto the Stubai Valley – a leisurely start that whets your appetite for more. Once you reach your destination, the Alpengasthof Sonnenstein awaits you with well-deserved refreshments on the sun terrace and a panorama that rewards every step.
Refreshed, you continue on to the Serlesbahnen Mieders and into the Serlespark. There, water fun and the joy of discovery come together: small dams are created on the whitewater course, cones dance through the channels in the bubbling cone washing system, and colourful wooden balls roll merrily along their path in the ball machine. Towering above it all is the majestic Serles, whose striking summit accompanies all the hustle and bustle in the park and immerses the scenery in a real mountain adventure feeling.
The crowning glory is the Miederer summer toboggan run, the steepest Alpine roller coaster of its kind. You race down the mountain at breakneck speed, the wind whistling in your ears, the valley flying by – a breathtaking finale to a day full of nature, fun and unforgettable views.
