Hinterthiersee: Natural Toboggan Run, Modal Route and Miracle Church

The leisure and cultural attractions in Hinterthiersee differ in activity, route length and season. For planning your trip, the Wieshof natural toboggan run, the Modal Route, Tirolina’s seasonal offerings at Haltjoch and the parish church of St. Nicholas provide different points of interest.

Choose tobogganing and hiking by route

The Wieshof natural toboggan run is rated easy and is 1.0 km long. It starts in the centre of Hinterthiersee and ends at the Wieshof snack station. This gives you a clear outline of the activity, length and destination for a short toboggan run. Winter operating conditions can vary; take these conditions into account when planning.

The Modal Route is also rated easy, but at 8.1 km it is considerably longer. The hiking route starts and ends in the village centre of Hinterthiersee. The routes differ directly in terms of activity and endpoint: the toboggan run ends at the Wieshof snack station, while the hiking route returns to its starting point in the village centre. Seasonal trail conditions on the Modal Route can vary.

Both routes are rated “easy”, but their lengths and activities differ. So when weighing up tobogganing and hiking, you can consider not only the ratings but also the 1.0 km and 8.1 km distances and their respective starting and ending points.

Skiing and tobogganing at Haltjoch

At Haltjoch, Tirolina offers a red, a blue and a black ski run. The colours indicate three different piste classifications for comparison; lift operations are seasonal. Tirolina also lists tobogganing and night tobogganing as seasonal activities for visitors. Take these seasonal conditions into account when planning and check them before your visit.

For those interested in tobogganing, Tirolina’s seasonal activities and the Wieshof natural toboggan run are different points of reference: the toboggan run has a specified length, rating, start point and endpoint. This helps you distinguish between choosing an activity and selecting a specific route.

Parish church and local history

The Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas at Hinterthiersee 91 is protected as a historic monument by decree. According to local tradition, the healing waters of Hinterthiersee gave it the nickname “Miracle Church”. The church thus brings together formal heritage protection and local historical tradition. If you would like to include culture in your travel plans alongside routes and winter sports, the parish church is another point of interest.

Getting to Tirolina

The Tirolina car parks are in the centre of Hinterthiersee, on the left-hand side shortly before the church. You can use this location and direction as a guide when driving there. As parking regulations may change, check the operator’s latest information before setting off.

If you are looking for a hotel in Hinterthiersee, you can choose your travel focus based on these differences: compare the routes by activity, length and destination; for Tirolina, piste classification and season are relevant. The parish church adds a historical dimension to your options. This lets you tailor your search to the interests that matter for your stay.
