Feeblitz toboggan run
Take the steepest toboggan lift in pairs or alone to one of the highest Alpine roller coasters that promises pure adrenaline. Take a deep breath and off you go. The 360° gyro at a height of nine metres, unique in Switzerland, provokes a slight tingling in the stomach that spreads to the whole body when the bobsleigh enters the infamous jump curve. Three jumps round off the crazy fun on the 900-metre-long toboggan bob run. The Feeblitz guarantees tobogganing fun for young and old all year round. In a breathtaking ride (up to 40km/h) you whiz back down into the valley. A bistro with great snacks and drinks awaits you there, and in July and August there's a bungee trampoline.
Scooter Fast-paced downhill fun
ON THE PATHS OF THE WATER
