Fräkmüntegg-Schlittelweg

The wide downhill slope of natural snow, at the foot of Lucerne’s local mountain, makes for a thrilling sled ride. With a variety of snow sports equipment, snow lovers can build up a head of steam. The slope leads over open terrain and then leisurely through the forest back to the middle station Krienseregg.

The five-kilometre descent begins at the Fräkmüntegg stop. At around 1,405 m, the starting point is also the highest point of the toboggan run; the Fräkmünt mountain chapel stands a little off to one side. Shortly afterwards, the route crosses the Bielilücke and then steadily loses altitude. The toboggan run soon enters the forest, with small clearings opening up between the trees.

Further down, longer stretches of forest alternate with meadows and pastures. Towards the end, the surroundings become more open, with wet meadows lining the route in places. After a descent of around 420 metres, the toboggan run approaches Krienseregg at just under 1,000 m. The final metres lead directly to the finish; the Krienseregg stop is only a few steps away. A good hour should be allowed for the entire, predominantly forested route.
