    The 1 km long toboggan run on Fürenalp is easy and safe. It has a small inclination and no curves. That is why the sledge run is particularly suitable for families with small children and for less experienced sledders. The Fürenalp cableway takes you comfortably to the sledge run. Then your commitment is called for - pull the sledge up to the start and sledging down.

    The sledge run is free of charge and sledges are also available free of charge at the Fürenalp mountain station. Of course, you or our little guests can take their own coaster with them.

    Author’s recommendation

    Children travel free of charge on the Fürenalp cableway in the winter season when accompanied by an adult.
