Tobogganing Adelboden - the most beautiful toboggan tours

On the Tschentenalp there are several slopes that are very popular with sledders. Sledding on the Engstligenalp is possible via several Snowtube lifts. There are sledding meadows in the Adelboden region in and on Ausserschwand, Boden, Dorf, Engstligenalp, Schermtanne and Tschentenalp.

• From Tschentenalp to Adelboden there are 14 km of toboggan runs alone.
• Between Sillerenbühl and Bergläger there is a 5 km long toboggan run on the Vogellisiberg.
• A 3.5 km long toboggan run leads from Elsigenalp to Elsigbach as soon as the valley run is open.
• For skibock lovers, every year in March there are the Swiss championships in skibocking in Adelboden.

Sledge rental Adelboden

Sledging you can do with a lot of different equipment. Skibock, skigibel, balancer, airboard (air cushion sled), luge or classic Davos wooden sled can be rented already when buying the sledding pass.

• The classic Davos toboggan is made of ash wood with iron-covered runners, a fixed wooden construction and a drawbar. It was developed on the occasion of a toboggan race in 1883. It is considered a very good-natured sled. Therefore, it is perfect for families and those who like to travel a little more leisurely.
• With the toboggan sled you are a lot faster on the road. Unlike "normal" sleds, the runners on toboggan models are angled up to 25 degrees and are not rigidly connected. The runners, made of a special steel, make your device fast and agile.
• Skibock is a mixture of sled and ski. It has become so popular that Swiss championships are held every year. It is said that the Skibock was invented here in the area.
• Very similar in design is the Skigibel. A wooden seat is mounted on a ski. It is controlled by shifting the weight and by the feet.
• The balancer is similar in shape to the Skibock and Skigibel, but usually has a built-in suspension.
• An airboard is inflated on the spot and can thus also be easily stowed in the backpack. Steering is done with the feet and by weight shift. A profiled underside protects the material and at the same time provides directional stability.

Adelboden Sledding Tschentenalp

The 14 km of toboggan runs on Tschentenalp are divided into a total of six runs. Four of the runs run along the Möser chairlift. A particularly long run ends in the valley, as does the Skibock run. On Wednesdays and Saturdays you can go night sledding from 18:00 to 21:00. The toboggan run is then illuminated and you whiz through the night with your equipment.
