Kronberg-Schlittelweg

The longest tobogganing run in Eastern Switzerland – from the summit of Kronberg to Jakobsbad. As you ride along the ridge and across meadows and pastures, the imposing north face of the Säntis range is always in view.

The seven-kilometre descent begins at around 1,660 m by Berggasthaus Kronberg, just a few steps from the mountain station. The starting point is also the highest point on the route. From Kronberg, the panoramic view extends across Central Switzerland as far as the Allgäu, with the Alpstein appearing particularly close. In just over an hour and a half, the toboggan run descends around 800 metres. It initially leads through open terrain. The Jakobskapelle stands directly beside the route; beyond it, meadows and pastures continue to dominate the scenery far down the slope.

In the lower section, the houses of Jakobsbad draw closer. For a short stretch, the route follows the Wissbach before reaching the built-up area by the campsite. Shortly before the finish, the valley restaurant lies close to the toboggan run. A little later, the descent ends at Jakobsbad valley station; the Jakobsbad (Kronbergbahn) stop is immediately beside it.
