Summer tobogganing involves riding wheeled sleds down fixed metal or composite tracks during warmer months. These purpose-built runs are typically installed on mountain slopes and follow winding routes with bends, drops and braking zones, offering a controlled ride that does not rely on snow or ice.

ActivitySure can cover summer tobogganing on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Although the tracks are designed for recreational use, speed, shared runs and hard surfaces mean there is still a risk of injury if something goes wrong.

Destination Insight

Where is good to do summer tobogganing?

Summer tobogganing is especially popular in Austria, where alpine resorts often convert winter ski areas into family-friendly attractions during the summer season. Purpose-built tracks are common and are usually operated with clear safety controls. The activity is also widely available in Switzerland, where mountain railways and resorts operate long toboggan runs that follow natural contours. In Germany, summer toboggan tracks are a popular feature at leisure parks and mountain destinations, often combining scenic views with controlled downhill rides.

Most travellers take part through organised attractions rather than informal or unsupervised setups.

Here's why summer tobogganing travel insurance matters:

Summer tobogganing involves descending tracks at speed, often close to other riders. Collisions, sudden braking or loss of control can lead to falls or impact injuries that require medical treatment. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if you need medical care or assistance while taking part abroad.

Helpful travel tips

  • Follow all instructions provided by the operator or attraction staff at all times
  • Wear appropriate safety equipment as required, and secure any restraints before starting. 
  • Sit correctly in the toboggan and keep hands and feet inside the sled. 
  • Maintain a safe distance from other riders and be prepared to slow down or stop. 
  • Only use designated summer toboggan tracks that are clearly marked and supervised.
