Types of mountain coasters & summer toboggans
In English, this fun ride goes by many names: mountain or alpine coaster, summer toboggan/sled/luge, alpine slide, coaster bob, etc. In German, these rides are generally all called “Rodelbahn.” Regardless of the name, there are two styles: rail-guided track coasters and toboggan slides.
Coaster with rail-guided tracks
On coasters, the bottom of the sled is attached to a rail, so it cannot leave the track. The sled typically has a back rest and seatbelt. The sleds can go very fast, up to 50 km/hr, much faster than the slide style.
Rail coasters usually have more exciting roller-coaster type features like waves and drops. Coasters are generally longer and more expensive to ride than alpine slides.

Free sliding toboggan
With the toboggan slide style, a sled moves freely on metal half-pipe slide, not attached to anything. No seatbelt.
On your first time, they may look and feel unsafe. But in general, they are quite safe if you properly control your speed. Children above 3 years old are usually allowed to ride with an adult.

On alpine slides, it is possible, though unusual, to flip the sled if you are going too fast or too slow. My husband accidentally flipped his sled going too slow with our 3 yr old around a curve and had to quickly exit the slide to avoid getting hit by the person behind him. Don’t do this.
Looking for the Swiss “roller coaster” you saw on social media? It’s the Gelmerbahn funicular.

Tips for riding mountain coasters
Getting up the mountain
With most coasters and slides, you sit on the sled and a machine will drag you up to the top, either at the start or end of your ride. If your sled does not have a backrest, this can be an uncomfortable 5 mins. At the top, the sled is released from the dragging mechanism and now your control your speed with your handbrakes.
In a few cases (like the Floomzer and Pradaschier), you have to ride a chair lift to reach the the top of the coaster, which significantly adds to the price of the ride. In these cases, you can pay less if you skip the lift and hike up to the ride instead.
How to slow down and brake on a mountain coaster
On both coasters and slides, the sled has a hand brake to control your speed. The brake is either one stick between your legs or two sticks on either side of the sled. You pull back to engage the brake and push forward to release it and speed up.
The track usually has signs to tell you to slow down on tight curves. My kids like to brag that they never use the brakes, not recommended.
Riding with children
Every mountain coaster or slide has its own rules in regards to minimum height and ages. In general, children from about age 8 can ride alone. Some have a minimum height, around 120 – 135 cm, which is necessary to be able to work the hand brakes properly.
Usually children from age 3 – 7 can ride double with a teen or adult. Children under 3 are generally not allowed even riding with an adult.

Tips for going fast
The worst part of alpine coasters and slides is getting stuck behind someone who is very slow and then you have to go slow too, a complete waste of money. To avoid this, strategically place yourself in line behind teens, not a grandma or adult with a toddler.
When it’s your turn to get on the sled, make up whatever excuse to delay getting on the sled, creating as much space as possible between you and the person in front of you.
For example, have trouble finding your ticket, fiddle around taking off your hat and sunglasses, fake trouble figuring out the seatbelt, go really slow out of the gate. Whatever it takes to delay your takeoff as long as possible. It works every time.
Don’t lose your stuff
Most mountain coasters will let you leave your backpack at the station and pick it up after the ride. It’s not a secure depot, so take your wallet with you. But best to not wear a hat – people lose them all the time (my husband did on our last ride).
Most forbid using your phone on the ride because no matter how firm of a grip you think you have, still people lose the phone on the ride and someone else gets hit with it. Be cool and follow the rules.
When to ride mountain coasters
On weekends, I suggest riding the mountain coaster at the beginning of your day. Usually the line is short or non-existent in the morning.
But by lunch time, you might have a 10-45 min wait (below shows part of the line at Sattel Hochstuckli at 13:00, about a 15 min wait). Some coasters, like Flumserberg and Oeschinensee, have discounts for morning rides, so you get more value for your money.

How much does a mountain coaster cost?
Usually you pay per ride, about CHF 5-9/ride. Some places give discounts for teens and children. Most require a ticket for each person even if you are riding double with a child. But a few resorts (like Kronberg) allow two riders with one ticket, a great deal!
Multipacks & Day Passes
At most places, you can purchase a multipack for a discount, usually packs of 5 or 10. The multi-pack can usually be used for different riders, not all the same person. Some resorts sell a day pass which gives you unlimited rides, like Sattel Hochstuckli and La Robella.
Mountain transport is extra
Some coasters & slides are next to parking in the valley, which means you only have to pay for the coaster. Examples are Atzmännig, Kronberg, La Robella, and Saas Fee Feeblitz.
Most other coasters are high up on the mountain, so you have to ride a gondola first to access the coaster. In that case, the mountain transport is not included in the price for riding the slide. Remember to calculate that as part of your total cost.
For example, at Oeschinensee, you need a return ticket on the gondola (CHF 30/adult) to reach the alpine slide. Each ride on the slide costs CHF 6/adult.
At a few coasters, you can hike up the mountain instead of riding the lift to the coaster start, like at Flumserberg Floomzer, Churwalden Pradaschier and Heimwehfluh. In these cases, you pay less for your ride. For example, the Pradaschier coaster costs CHF 28 with the lift and CHF 16 without.
Note: Alpine coaster are only open in summer season. So check the opening times before planning your day.
Zurich region coasters
Some of the best and longest Swiss alpine coasters are in Eastern Switzerland, notably the Flumserberg Floomer (2km long) and Pradaschier (3.6 km long). So if long and fast coasters are a priority, make sure to plan part of your Switzerland vacation in this region.
1. Churwalden Pradaschier • Longest alpine coaster in Switzerland
The longest alpine coaster in Switzerland is the Pradaschier coaster in Churwalden, near Davos. It’s over 3 km long reaching speeds up to 40 km/hr.

It’s so fast and furious that I’m always terrified I’ll fly off the track (though not possible as the sled is connected) and use the brakes more than I normally do.
- Stats: 3060m long, 480m descent, 31 curves
- Style: double rail coaster
- Requirements: age 3-8 ride with adult • 8+ and 135cm tall can ride alone
It’s high up the mountain, you ride a chair lift to reach the start. If you hike up the mountain instead, you pay less but you may be too tired to work the brakes on your sled.
- Location: near Lenzerheide in southeast Switzerland – see on map
- Open: mid May to late October • current opening times • live status
- Cost 2024: CHF 29.50 with lift, discount for children and SBB Half-fare • current prices
- Website: www.pradaschier.ch
This coaster is very expensive, so you’ll probably only ride it once. I recommend it only as a special treat. This is possible as a day trip from Zurich, but better if you are staying in Lenzerheide, Chur or Flims Laax.




2. Flumserberg “Floomzer” Coaster
Every time we hike at Flumserberg, we treat the kids to this super fun coaster, a nice reward for good hike. The line for the coaster is sometimes quite long, but always worth it.
- Coaster stats: 2000 m long • descent 250m
- Style: double rail track
- Requirements: age 3-9 ride with parent • age 9+ and over 1.25m tall can ride alone
Before you get on, be extra vigilant about creating space between you and the person in front of you so you don’t get stuck going slow on the second half.

If you are hiking, you can end at the coaster and ride the rest of the way. Or you can ride the chair lift directly to the coaster. See our post about a weekend in Heidiland, including the Floomzer ride.
With the Early Bird Offer, you have unlimited rides between 10:00 to 12:00 for a day pass price.
- Location: Tannenboden, southeast of Zürich – see on map
- Open: usually early June thru October
- Cost 2025: CHF 15 without lift, CHF 23.50 with lift • discounts for children, Swiss Travel Pass, GA and Half Fare Travelcards
- Website: www.flumserberg.ch
3. Kronberg Bobbahn (near Appenzell)
This fun coaster is only one of many fun amusements at the Kronberg mountain resort, including a ropes course with 25 zip lines, huge playground and treasure hunt trail.
- Length: 1000m
- Style: double rail track
- Requirements: children under 8 must ride with a person age 12+ • age 8+ can ride alone

Best to ride this first thing in the morning as lines can get long on sunny afternoons. See our post about Kronberg.
- Location: St. Josefstrasse 2, 9108 Jakobsbad. Train Station: Jakobsbad, 10 mins from Appenzell
- Open: early April thru November • current opening times
- Cost: CHF 9/adult, CHF 6/child • ticket good for 2 people riding together
- Website: kronberg.ch
4. Atzmännig Toboggan Run
This summer toboggan ride is part of a big mountain amusement park that includes a fantastic ropes course. Your toboggan ticket includes the chair lift to reach the ride.
- Stats: 700m long • descent 126m • 17 turns
- Style: slide
- Requirements: age 3-8 must ride with person age 12+ • age 8+ can ride alone
💡 TIP! Ride the Atzmännig toboggan free on your birthday!


I think this alpine slide is overpriced for what it is. I also don’t like that they charge for both the adult and child when you are riding double.
- Location: Atzmännigstrasse 1, 8638 Goldingen
- Open: mid April to mid October • live status
- Cost: CHF 9.50/ride, discount for children
- Website: www.atzmaennig.ch
There are lots of other fun things to do here to fill up the day, including a nice theme trail from the top of the lift. See our post about Atzmännig.
Lucerne region coasters
The Lucerne region has lots of summer toboggans (sled style), including the longest near Mt Pilatus at 1.3 km. They are near alpine playgrounds and other amusements like rope parks. So a good choice if you want a full day of fun for the kids.
5. Sattel-Hochstuckli «Stuckli Run» Summer Toboggan
Sattel Hochstuckli is a small mountain with a big amusement center including bouncy castles, trampolines, summer toboggan, summer tubing, and long suspension bridge. Plus beautiful trails with activities to keep the kids happily walking.
The summer toboggan is a big draw and one ride is never enough for my kids. So we usually get the Day Pass, which includes the gondola ride up the mountain and unlimited use of the amusements all day long.
- Length: 600m
- Style: slide
- Requirements: age 3-6 ride free with adult • age 8+ can ride alone

You can pay for individual rides, which is better if you have limited time after a long hike. We often do the Panorama Trail, which takes about 2 hours and has gorgeous views over the Lake Lucerne region.
- Location: near Lucerne & Zurich – Hochstuckli cable car at Eumatt 1, 6417 Sattel
- Open: mid April through early November
- Cost: CHF 5/ride + gondola return ticket to reach toboggan run
- Website: www.sattel-hochstuckli.ch
💡Pro tip: To avoid long waits, we suggest going early and riding the toboggan before doing anything else (before the hike, before bouncy castles). If you get there right when it opens, you can usually ride about a dozen times before it starts to get crowded.

You don’t have to pay extra to cross the bouncy suspension bridge, the cheapest thrill around.
See my post about Sattel Hochstuckli
6. Mt Pilatus • Fräkigaudi Coaster
This summer toboggan at Mt Pilatus is the longest in Switzerland (slide style) at 1350m! And perhaps the longest line since this tourist destination near Lucerne is so popular.
We always take our visitors here when we do the Pilatus Golden Trip excursion. Everyone loves it!
- Length: 1350m
- Style: slide
- Requirements: Age 3-8 can ride double with person age 16+. Age 8+ can ride alone.

💡Pro tip: do this at the start of your day. We always leave it for the end and run out of time.
This was our first alpine slide ride in Switzerland so I have fond memories of this place. We also love the ropes course here and sleeping overnight in the tree tents. And of course, riding the cable car to the top of the mountain to catch all the big views.
- Location: near Lucerne – see on map
- Open: early April to mid October, daily 10:00 – 16:00. Current opening times. See live status.
- Cost: CHF 9/ride, discount for children + cable car return ticket.
- Website: www.rodelbahn.ch
➡️Buy Mt Pilatus cable car tickets.

Feeling overwhelmed? Perhaps book a small group guided tour to Pilatus or just a boat tour with views of Pilatus.
7. Brunni Engelberg summer toboggan
This alpine slide at Brunnig Engelberg has amazing views and lots of other fun activities to round out the day. We usually start with the barefoot “Tickle Path” and treasure hunt trail. Then we end our day with the big alpine playground and toboggan ride.
- Length: 660m
- Style: slide
- Requirements: age 3-8 must ride double with person age 12+ • age 8+ can ride alone

Make sure to leave enough time before the last cable car down, usually at 17:00 or 18:00 depending on the season. See more details for Brunni Engelberg
- Location: Engelberg Brunni, near Lucerne – cable car at Wydenstrasse 55, 6390 Engelberg
- Open: May to October • check status
- Cost: CHF 5/ride + cable car return
- Website: brunni.ch
8. Wirzweli Rodelbahn
The Wirzweli summer toboggan is part of a fun alpine playground at this small mountain resort. It’s a nice extra after hiking the Witch theme trail through the forest, with fun activities for kids scattered along the trail.
- Length: 535m
- Style: slide
- Cost: CHF 4.50/ride. Cable car to access resort.
- Open: June to October, closed Mondays
- Location: near Lucerne – cable car at Wiesenbergstrasse 25, 6383 Dallenwil
- Website: www.wirzweli.ch
9. Sörenberg Rischli Summer Toboggan
If you have small kids, the Sörenberg area has lots to entertain and amuse. We usually start at Mooraculum, which has a great alpine playground with mountain views and a fun sensory theme trail. They also have kick scooters to ride down the mountain, instead of taking the cable car.
- Length: 900m
- Style: slide
- Requirements: age 3-8 must ride with adult, age 8+ can ride alone
Before you head home, stop at Rischli for a few rides down the long summer toboggan track. They offer a family discount, which gets cheaper the more rides you do.
- Cost: one ride CHF 7/adult, CHF 6/child
- Open: early June through end of October
- Location: near Lucerne – cable car at
- Website: www.soerenberg.ch
Interlaken & Jungfrau Region coasters
If you are staying near Interlaken, you have a few choices for mountain coasters. They are fun, but relatively short compared to other coasters on this list. So if you are visiting other Swiss regions during your visit, you might wait for bigger and better coasters elsewhere.
If you must pick one, we think the best near Interlaken is at Oeschinensee, which is a great day trip for the lake views and panorama trail.
10. Grindelwald Pfingstegg summer toboggan
This summer toboggan near Grindelwald is in the only one in the Jungfrau region. So a great choice if you are only spending a few days in Switzerland and need a thrill.
- Length: 735m
- Style: slide
- Requirements: age 4-7 ride with adult • age 8+ can ride alone
Start by riding a cable car up the mountain to 1346m, with fantastic views across the Grindelwald valley.

- Location: Grindelwald Pfingstegg cable car – Grabenstrasse 15, 3818 Grindelwald
- Open: mid May to mid October
- Cost: CHF 8/ride + cable car ride CHF 32, discount for kids
- Website: www.pfingstegg.ch
11. Interlaken Heimwehfluh coaster
This coaster is just a short walk from the Interlaken West train station, on a small hill overlooking the city.
- Length: 400m
- Style: single rail track
- Requirements: age 3-7 can ride double with adult • age 6+ can ride alone
You start by riding a 100 year old vintage funicular train up the hill. At the top, there is a restaurant, playground, model railway show, and tower to climb where you can enjoy beautiful views across the lakes and into the Jungfrau Region valley.
At the end of your visit, ride this coaster back down to Interlaken, a little thrill ride through the forest. It’s fun, but honestly, a little overpriced for what you get. If this is the only coaster you can visit, then do it. Otherwise wait for a better one.
- Cost: CHF 16/adult, CHF 10/child for cable car up and toboggan ride down. Discount with Swiss Travel Pass, GA, and Half-fare cards. See more price options
- Open: mid April thru late October
- Website: www.heimwehfluh.ch
- Location: Interlaken – see on map
12. Oeschinensee summer toboggan
Oeschinensee is popular for its bright blue alpine lake surrounded by mountain peaks. Before you get to the lake, we suggest a couple rides on their Instagram-famous summer toboggan, which is at the top of the Kandersteg cable car.
- Status: 750m long • descent 150m
- Style: toboggan slide
- Requirements: age 3+, age 8+ can ride alone

You’ve probably see videos of this alpine slide on social media, often sped up and oversaturated for effect. The ride is fun and views beautiful, but it’s not more special than other alpine slides in Switzerland.
- Location: west of Interlaken, Bernese Oberland region – cable car at Öschistrasse 50, 3718 Kandersteg
- Open: early May to October
- Cost 2025: CHF 6/ride + gondola return ticket
- Website: www.oeschinensee.ch
The summer toboggan is typically open the same times as the gondola, but opening times may vary depending on weather conditions.
See my post about visiting Oeschinensee.
Zermatt & Valais region coasters
The only coaster near Zermat is in Saas Fee, a mountain resort about an hour drive from Zermatt in a neighboring valley. It’s a great one and we love exploring Saas Fee. But this coaster probably not worth it to drive there just for the coaster.
If you are only in Switzerland for a short time, it’s probably more convenient to ride coasters when you are visiting other parts of Switzerland, like the Interlaken or Lucerne areas.
13. Saas Fee “Feeblitz” summer toboggan
This alpine coaster was a fun surprise since it doesn’t look like much as you approach, since it’s mostly hidden in the forest. So you just hear screams of delight as people race down, but can’t see most of the action until you’re on it yourself.
- Length: 900m
- Style: double rail track

It was super exciting and I would have happily ridden it several more times if I had an unlimited budget. So after two rides, we settled for a round of mini golf next door.
- Cost: CHF 7.50, discount for children
- Open: mid June to October
- Location: Saas Fee in Valais region – see on map
- Website: www.feeblitz.ch
It’s the only coaster/slide anywhere near Zermatt. So if you are only visiting this region and a coaster is important, plan a day trip to Saas Fee and do one of the hikes in the region. See my Saas Fee post for ideas.
Lake Geneva Region (Montreux, Lausanne) coasters
If you are staying in Montreux or Lausanne, the following two coasters are within a reasonable day trip distance. If you are in Geneva, the coasters are a bit far away in my opinion.
14. Glacier 3000 • Alpine Coaster
The Glacier 3000 coaster is one of the best in Switzerland, with a very unique view above the glacier. Afterwards, go bounce across the scary suspension bridge. Then ride a chair lift down to the glacier ice and sled on summer snow.
- Stats: 877m long • 520° circles, 10 curves, 6 waves and 3 jumps
- Style: double rail coaster
- Requirements: age 3-8 must ride double with person age 9+ • age 9+ can ride alone

Usually a summer toboggan is an optional treat for us. But if you go to this touristy (and wonderful!) mountain, you gotta do all the things. So just include this coaster in your budget and enjoy the ride.
See my full post about Glacier 3000.
- Cost: CHF 9/ride + cable car return ticket. Book tour from Geneva.
- Open: usually June to September, daily 9:15 – 16:00
- Location: Gstaad, Bernese Oberland, see on map
- Website: www.glacier3000.ch
15. Moléson-sur-Gruyères coaster
This summer sledge is at the base of the Moléson mountain, no gondola required. This mountain has other fun amusements including mountain scooters and mini golf.
- Length: 559m
- Style: double rail coaster
- Requirements: age 4-7 ride with an adult • age 8+ can ride alone
We suggest starting your day with one of the beautiful hikes from the top. Then finish the day with a couple rides on this fun summer toboggan.
This mountain is included in the Magic Pass, so a great way to maximize the value of your pass.
- Cost: CHF 6/ride
- Open: March thru October, depending on weather conditions
- Location: north of Montreux / toboggan near parking at Rte du Moléson 228, 1663 Moléson-Village
- Website: www.moleson.ch
Ticino – near Lugano and Locarno
The Ticino region has just one coaster, but it’s fantastic for both the thrill and the views. It’s also close to both Lugano and Locarno, making it an easy choice even if you are only staying a couple days.
16. Monte Tamaro • Coaster Bob
We loved this super fast coaster on a beautiful mountain near Lugano. It has lots of loops, making for an exhilarating ride.
- Stats: 800m long • descent 80m • max speed 50km/h
- Style: double rail coaster
- Requirements: age 3-8 ride with adult • age 8+ can ride alone
Note: In 2025, Monte Tamaro doesn’t open for summer season until the cable car construction is finished sometime in June. See status.

We were happy to find it much cheaper than other similar coasters around Switzerland. So our budget could fit a couple rides per person, instead of just one.
We had a difficult hike ahead the Monte Tamaro peak (well worth it!). So I wanted to leave the coaster as a reward for afterwards. But we wanted to avoid the afternoon lines. So instead we were the first customers as they opened and rode twice without any wait at all.
- Location: near Lugano in Ticino, see on map
- Open: usually April to October
- Cost: CHF 5/ride + gondola return ticket • age 3-7 ride free with adult
- Website: www.montetamaro.ch
We were there in October in icy cold weather, so gloves were much appreciated when using the hand-brakes.
See our review of Monte Tamaro.
Near Bern and Basel (Northwest Switzerland)
Perhaps to make up for not being in the high mountains, the Bern and Basel areas have very fun summer toboggans and coasters scattered around the countryside. If you happen to hiking or staying nearby, these are a nice add-on to your day.
17. Bern Gurten Summer Toboggan
In Bern, you can ride a funicular train to a hill overlooking the city. Up there, you’ll find a fun amusement center for kids with a playground, water play, marble run, and rides for little kids including a mini train and electric cars.
The summer toboggan is the star attraction, with lots of twists and turns. It’s a nice treat for the kids after a day touring the city and visiting museums.
- Length: 500m
- Style: slide
- Cost: one ride CHF 5/adult, CHF 4 child + funicular to Gurten park
- Open: daily March to November
- Website: www.gurtenpark.ch
- Location: in Bern – see on map
18. Schwarzsee
This beautiful lake south of Bern has many charms, with lots of hiking, biking and climbing routes in the Gantrisch Nature Park. Kids will enjoy the easy walk around the lake with a witch & dragon theme.
- Length: 1000m
- Style: single rail track
Their alpine slide is a fun treat before or after other activities. Since you don’t have to ride a gondola to reach the coaster, it is more affordable than many others on this list.
- Cost: one ride CHF 7/adult, CHF 4/child
- Open: May thru October
- Location: south of Bern – Gypsera 231, 1716 Schwarzsee-Bad
- Website: www.kaisereggbahnen-schwarzsee.ch
19. La Robella “Féeline” Coaster
Robella Val-de-Travers is an alpine valley resort in northwestern Switzerland. It has a large mountain bike and scootering park, nice hikes, and a great alpine coaster.
- Length: 1200m
- Style: double rail track coaster
- Requirements: age 3-8 ride free with a person age 12+ • age 8+ can ride alone

If you love sporty adventure, you’ll love their day pass which includes unlimited rides on the coaster as well as mountain scooter rental and chair lift.
Even on a sunny Sunday, there was no line at the coaster so we could ride a dozen times before lunch. See our post about La Robella
- Cost: CHF 7/ride or day pass for unlimited rides
- Open: April to October
- Website: www.robella.ch
- Location: near Neuchâtel and Yverdon-les Bain (Jura & 3 Lakes) – see on map
20. Langenbrock “Solarbob” toboggan
This long alpine slide in the countryside has lots of curves, including a “unique 540 degree gyroscope.” You’ll just have to try it to see if it it’s worth the hype.
- Length: 1000m
- Style: slide
There’s plenty of fun for a full day, with a ropes climbing park adjacent to the slide. Also the Holzweg theme trail is nearby, so perhaps stop by on your way home.
- Cost: one ride CHF 5/adult, CHF 6.30/child, family discount
- Open: Palm Sunday through fall school holidays / closed Mondays
- Location: Near Basel – Hauptstrasse 1, 4438 Langenbruck
- Website: www.baselland-tourismus.ch
Honorable mention
Here are a few coasters and toboggans that weren’t our first pick but might be the closest to you.
Schongiland (near Lucerne)
Schongiland is an amusement park near Zurich with fair-style rides, mini roller coasters, bouncy castles, petting zoo, water play, and other attractions. The summer toboggan is included in the day pass, so you can ride as many times as you like instead of paying per ride.
It’s a fun ride, but it doesn’t have the mountain views like others on this list. This is more for locals looking for a fun summer outing, rather than tourists.
- Length: 380m
- Style: slide
- Cost: CHF 19/child for day pass to amusement center, with unlimited rides
- Location: Near Lucerne – Guggibadstrasse 12, 6288 Schongau
- Website: schongiland.ch
Toboggan Géant de La Vue-des-Alpes (Neuchâtel)
This summer toboggan is in the hills north of Neuchâtel. It’s relatively low elevation, at around around 1300m, with nice views across the Jura countryside. There’s a restaurant but not much else here. So best as an extra if you are already visiting that region for another reason.
- Length: 700 m
- Type: slide
- Cost: CHF 4/ride
- Open: year round. Mon-Fri 13:00 – 18:00 / Weekends and holidays: 10:00 – 18:00
- Location: Near Neuchâtel – see on map
- Website: toboggans.ch

Hi – can you check the map link for the Floomzer Coaster? It didn’t take us Tannenboden. Loved getting to ride it when we were there!
Thanks Amanda. You’re right that my link to Tannenboden was pointing to the incorrect place on Google maps. I have corrected that. Glad you had a nice time at Flumserberg!
Hello i will visit switzerland between 5-13 NOVEMBER which tobogaan or coaster opend on that time please?
The Kronberg coaster is scheduled to be open thru 30 Nov assuming no snow.
Does the toboggan at SÖRENBERG RISCHLI have any added costs like adventure park entrance fee or cable car fee?
Do the coasters with cable car fee give unlimited cable car rides so we can take the coaster a few times without added cable car cost?
Thank you for this helpful guide.
Rischli does not require a cable car to reach the summer toboggan. You can access it directly from the parking.
My son (14) is coming in week 41, and I would like us to go and try a mountain coaster and stay at a nice alp hotel. I have looked at something around Adelboden and Lauterbrunnen. What could you recommend..?
We drive from Zurich.
Thanks 🙂
Sorry the late reply. I hope you had a nice time with your son.
Great article! We are planning a trip on the Bernina Express next weekend and hope to find a way to ride the Churwalden Pradaschier coaster. Thanks for such detailed explanation and tips.
Thank you! Hope you had a great time on the Bernina Express.
Dear Tanya
I want to thank you for a such great project. I am happy to find it and we have already planned a trip in accordance with your articles. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for much for your kind words. I hope you have a wonderful trip.
Great article Tina. We have done the Pfinstegg, Pilatus, Monte Tamaro and Oeschinensee toboggan. Having twin 13 year olds year are always on the lookout for these. We actually spent a day in the Sorrenburg play ground but I was not aware of the toboggan. We also missed the Engelberg one when we visited Mt. Titlis. Anyways more to add to the bucket list. LOL
You’ve done a lot of the great ones! I love that there’s always more to do in Switzerland even though it’s such a small country.
