On two runners through winter paradise

25 unique sledging runs await you in the Jungfrau Region - from adventurous rides under the stars to the longest sledging run in Europe. There's the perfect sledging experience for everyone! It's a wonderful way to actively experience winter and is great fun for young and old alike. Whizzing through snow-covered landscapes on a sledge brings exercise in the fresh air and a good mood. There are many routes suitable for all ages and speeds, from relaxed trails through forests to exciting descents with great views.

The sledging run leads from Sulwald past the icy Sulsbach waterfall down to Isenfluh and, in good snow conditions, you even end up directly in the village of Lauterbrunnen. The journey by cable car from Isenfluh to Sulwald is an experience in itself. The beautiful ride through a winter wonderland starts at the highest point at 1529 metres. There are refreshment stops along the way - a delicious fondue makes the sledging trip even better. The sledging run takes around 30 minutes and has one or two flatter sections - a good change for a leisurely sledging tour. During the ride, you can enjoy the unique view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

The sledging fun starts on the Grosse Scheidegg and extends beyond the valley borders to the Schwarzwaldalp. This sledging run in the Haslital takes around 21 minutes. After a leisurely journey by postbus through the spectacular Reichenbach Valley, the fast-paced sledging fun begins at the foot of the mighty Wetterhorn. The ride through the snow-covered landscape is great fun for beginners and experienced sledgers alike. You can enjoy the 5.4 km long piste and take a refreshment break along the way. With a day ticket, you can ride this route several times and take the postbus directly up to Grosse Scheidegg each time.

You can enjoy the sledging run from Bussalp to Weidli with a view of a unique panorama. You can take the well-known yellow ‘Grindelwald buses’ to the sunny Bussalp and start directly from there. The 8-kilometre route leads in the direction of Grindelwald. The City Run is an absolute classic in the Bernese Oberland. As soon as you arrive at Weidli, you can hop straight back on the bus and start your second, third or fourth run. For a little more action, you can also whizz down this sledging run on the famous Velogemel.

The Eiger Run takes you along the foot of the Eiger, directly beneath the legendary north face of the Eiger. With a gradient of up to 36 per cent, you will reach a high speed that will send you hurtling down the slope. The trail leads from the Männlichen mountain station down towards Grindelwald to the finish at Brandegg.

For anyone looking for even more action in Grindelwald, the Velogemel is an absolute must! This unique wooden vehicle, which runs on runners instead of wheels, was invented in Grindelwald and offers an unusual alternative to classic sledging. With the Velogemel, you glide through the snow-covered landscape at high speed yet with surprising manoeuvrability. Those who get the hang of it will experience pure riding pleasure and a touch of adventure. For beginners, there are hire stations and tips on how to master your first attempts safely. A winter highlight for adrenaline junkies and anyone who wants to try something new.

The Bob Run Mürren is a perfect option for a sledging outing with the family. The journey is easy by train, cable car and funicular railway Allmendhubel. You then head straight down the bobsleigh run - part of which can be seen in the James Bond film ‘On Her Majesty's Secret Service’ - and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. After 2.9 kilometres and a 15-minute ride, you arrive in the village of Mürren.

This part of the Eiger Run starts on Kleine Scheidegg and takes you to Berghaus Alpiglen. This section is the leisurely part of the Eiger Run and is perfect for the whole family. You whizz down the sledging run with a view of the north face of the Eiger.

With a difference in altitude of around 1600 metres, the Big Pintenfritz run offers the longest sledging experience in Europe. It is ideal for anyone looking for an extraordinary winter challenge. Before the sledging fun, there is a 2.5-hour winter hike up to the Faulhorn - but it's worth it. Once you arrive at 2680 metres above sea level, you can first enjoy the beautiful panorama and fortify yourself for the long ride with a picnic. The Big Pintenfritz is the longest sledging run in Europe and therefore a must-do for all sledging fans. The run is 12 kilometres long and, together with the winter walk, takes around 3 hours. In good snow conditions, sledging enthusiasts travel as far as Lochsteinen and then take the bus to Grindelwald village.

The Eiger Run (No. 64a) leads directly from Alpiglen to Brandegg and is a real highlight. The route, which is already great fun during the day, takes on a magical atmosphere at night. Under the starry sky and the soft light of the lamps, you glide for around 6 kilometres through a wintry fairytale landscape with magnificent views of the Wetterhorn and the north face of the Eiger.
Another highlight is night sledging on the Bussalp (no. 57). The route starts at Bussalp and leads through the dark winter forest down to Grindelwald. Skiing under floodlights makes for a unique experience and lets the winter wonderland glow in a mysterious light.
The route from Mägisalp to Bidmi provides a special challenge. The descent here is steep and the night sledging becomes more exciting with every bend. The combination of steep passages and leisurely sections makes this route an exciting experience that will set the pulse of any sledging fan racing.
Whether alone or with friends, night sledging offers an unforgettable experience and a unique opportunity to discover the alpine winter world at night.
