The natural toboggan run in See is six kilometres long, while Alpe Gamperthun lies at 2,057 metres above sea level, just above the tree line. These different travel highlights range from tobogganing to alpine scenery and local history. The season and your personal interests can help guide your planning.

Local history and the name See

The place name See comes from the fact that a lake once covered the valley floor in See. At the heart of See in the Paznaun Valley is the play, sports and water park, on the site of a lake that existed there centuries ago and disappeared in a landslide in 1433.

Farmers from Serfaus and Fiss founded the settlement of See in the 13th century. The founding of the settlement and the disappearance of the lake at the site of today’s park are two distinct milestones in the area’s history.

Toboggan run and Medrig Carts

The natural toboggan run is six kilometres long and descends around 700 metres in altitude. When there is enough snow, it is illuminated from 19:30 to 23:00. Since the lighting depends on this snow condition, it is a good idea to check the latest operating information before an evening visit.

The Medrig Carts ride covers 424 metres in altitude, from 2,224 to 1,800 metres above sea level. In direct numerical comparison, the toboggan run’s descent of around 700 metres is greater than the difference stated for the Medrig Carts.

Mountain activities in the warmer months

In the warmer months, the Medrigjochbahn takes visitors to starting points for family-friendly hiking routes and various mountain adventures. The Bike & Hike See–Rotpleiskopf route starts at the valley station of the Medrigjochbahn in See. The cable car and the named route are two specific points of reference for planning mountain activities.

The time of year is an important consideration when planning a trip: the Medrigjochbahn’s described role is for the warmer months, while the toboggan run is illuminated only when there is enough snow. Check the latest operating information for each activity before making specific plans.

Alpe Gamperthun: scenery and specialities

Alpe Gamperthun lies on a level area just above the tree line, at 2,057 metres above sea level. From there, visitors can enjoy magnificent views of the highest and most beautiful mountain peaks in the Paznaun Valley, as well as down the valley as far as Grins.

The alp serves its own homemade Paznaun alpine cheese and other local specialities. For travellers interested in local products as well as the views, the area brings together scenery and local culinary traditions.

Marienkapelle Chapel in Habigen

Marienkapelle Chapel in Habigen is the only chapel in See where services are still held regularly. Josef Mallaun funded the construction of the chapel in 1882, linking it to the area’s history.
