Central Switzerland: Toboggan run with spectacular view
On this 4 kilometres, from Rigi Burggeist to Gschwänd extended route, piste raudis as well as families get their money's worth. The start is at 1551 metres above sea level, in Rigi Burggeist. Via the Gätterlipass, the slope runs down to Gschwänd, where the Obergschwend-Rigi Burggeist cable car takes tobogganists back to Rigi Burggeist. No previous experience is required for sledging, but respect, quick reactions, good ability to judge and good footwear are important for everyone's safety.
