Tobogganing

Tobogganing fun for everyone

Fast descents and snow swirling under the skids – when tobogganing in winter, we all go back to being kids again. For groups and families, whether day or night tobogganing, the destination Gstaad offers tobogganing slopes for every taste. The well-prepared toboggan runs go over adventurous routes, through snow-covered winter landscape and with wonderful views of the valley. Restaurants and snow bars along the way invite you to linger and enjoy.

Prices

For your sledding adventure, you can choose between a single ride ticket and a day pass. Both options are available at the valley stations of the mountain railways. Whether you’re in the mood for just one ride or want to spend the entire day on the sledding runs – the choice is yours.

Toboggan rental

If you don’t have your own sled or you are travelling by train, you can rent a sled from the mountain railways (with the exception of the Rinderberg valley station) and from most of the sports shops in the area.

Night sledging

Sledding by moonlight is a truly special winter experience! Start with a delicious fondue, then race down the mountain on your sled.

Tips for safe tobogganing

To ensure that the fun doesn't come to a premature end, there are a few points to bear in mind: 

  • A functional sledge, good clothing including ski trousers, ski jacket, gloves and a hat are part of your basic equipment.
  • It is recommended that you wear a helmet.
  • Good footwear should also be worn. Winter boots with a good profile are best.
  • On the way, it is important to drive with foresight, to have the sledge under control and to be able to brake at any time.
  • In particular, if you are about to cross another sledging run or piste, if there are other sledgers on the run or if you are about to take a tight bend, you need to slow down and drive carefully.
