Tobogganing and free night sledging

The 3.4-kilometre toboggan run starts at the Fleschen mid-station and is open daily from midday to four. After that the lights come on, and night sledging until eight in the evening is free, a rarity in the Alps. Toboggan hire costs CHF 20 a day. The run is wide and not steep, so it's manageable with younger children too. The stretch under the lights in the dark is, for most guests, the highlight of the day.
