01/ Overview

The route

If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, Weissenberge is just the place: this twisting sledge ride through the wild Chrauchbach Gorge to the village of Matt certainly packs a punch and is rightly nicknamed “the outrageous toboggan run”.

The toboggan run begins at Weissenberge, around 400 m from the nearest stop, Weissenberge. The three-kilometre descent starts almost at the highest point, at around 1,260 m. Initially, it leads across open terrain; the Berggasthaus Edelwyss lies a little off the route. Before long, the first trees draw closer and the trail enters the forest.

The route continues steadily downhill between trees and clearings, losing a total of around 440 metres in elevation over a short distance. Towards the end, the forest thins out and gives way to the first houses of Matt. A self-service café also lies a little off the route here. After around 40 minutes, the ride ends in the village, directly by the Matt (Seilbahn) stop.

03/ Conditions

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Sledding is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
