Tradition Rodeln

Originally toboggans were called ‘sledges’ in Salzburg, and were also used in Gastein Valley in farming. The mountain hay which was gathered in summer on the Salzburg Alpine meadows and stored in small ‘hay barns’, had to be collected from the Alpine meadow to feed the animals in Gastein Valley in the winter. Large wood sledges were piled high with the valuable mountain hay. The descent with the heavy sledges wasn’t fun, indeed it was very dangerous. At least two strong men had to work attentively and concentrate so that the sledge’s heavy weight didn’t get out of control.
