Toboggan Day in Grindelwald

Saturday, 6th March 2004

Are you ready for a thrilling tobogganing/sledding experience?

After arriving in the gorgeous town of Grindelwald we will take a bus up to the Bussalp. From there we will hike for about two hours to the Faulhorn to sledge down the longest run in Europe surrounded by world famous scenery. Map of the region.

Program

• 12:05 Hiking to the Faulhorn
• 14:00 Lunch on the top of the Faulhorn
• 14:30 Sledging down the longest run in Europe

Important

The official meeting point is at the railway station in Grindelwald at 11:09 but it is possible to travel with others from the same city (see train connections below).

We will have a very narrow time window between our arrivel in Grindelwald and the departure of the bus. During this time we will have to pick up the toboggans. This means you have to be exactly on time at the railwaystation in Grindelwald and you won't have any time to buy lunch etc. there!

The costs are CHF 10.- per person.
