A sand spreading system for a rail vehicle with driveable and/or brakeable rail wheels. The sand spreading system includes a sand box for storing spreading sand, a sand staircase which is fastened to the sand box for the compressed-air-controlled metering of the output of spreading sand, and a sand outlet tube which is connected to the sand staircase via a sand hose and opens in front of a rail wheel. By a heating device for generating a hot air flow passing through the spreading sand being integrated in the sand staircase, the spreading sand can be kept dry and pourable even in the wet and frost, and therefore the function of the sand staircase and hence the effective operation of the rail vehicle are assured.
