Velogemel

An invention from Grindelwald

Over 100 years ago, Christian Bühlmann from Grindelwald built a sports sledge modelled on a bicycle. Today, the Velogemel has achieved cult status. If you visit the Jungfrau Region, you simply have to give it a go.

Night sledging

Under the starry sky

How about a toboggan ride through the winter landscape at night? Some toboggan runs are also open at night. Before you set off, why not treat yourself to some delicious food?

Rent

No sledge? No problem!

Are you in the Jungfrau Region but haven’t brought a sledge with you? You’ll find what you’re looking for in these sports shops for a small fee. Alternatively, you could check in advance whether it’s possible to hire one locally.
