The history of the legendary Gasser Rodel began in 1909 in the family-owned wagon building / wainwright's workshop, where carts and carriages, but also skis and toboggans, were manufactured. Meanwhile, the fourth generation is at the helm of the family-owned business that today is one of the most successful toboggan / sled manufacturers for professional athletes, as well as winter sports enthusiasts. The current managers, Christian and Thomas Gasser, are supported by eight employees working in production and sales. The fact that the factors is located in Austria assures compliance with high environmental and labor standards. Only wood grown and cut in Austria is used for the toboggans / sleds. Transport routes – from the procurement of raw materials to production – are generally kept short, thereby minimizing emissions. Gasser designs the robust Rodel for decades of use and offers repairs and spare parts as a solution to the throw-away culture.
