Possibly the best place in the world to sled down a mountain.
Wildkogel Rodelbahn, 8.7 miles of dedicated tobogganing bliss—complete with hairpin turns, a dedicated ski lift and an ale house along the way (so you can stop halfway through for a round or two at the slopeside tavern).

In short, it's the grown-up version of your 10-year-old self's biggest fantasy: hurtling down a mountain's worth of slopes on a runner sled just inches off the ground. On one side, you'll have a towering Alpine peak; on the other side, a frighteningly steep drop-off.

The full course can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your ability and endurance.

Here is some home video I found on YouTube to give you a better idea:
