Night Tobogganing at the Semmering is an evening in Lower Austria: a floodlit run, a wooden toboggan, and a hut at the top for something warm first. It is fast, slightly ridiculous and the thing guests talk about for the rest of the trip. It runs from December to March, and Avellera arranges it as part of a tailor-made journey.
