Schlittelweg Kreuzboden–Saas-Grund

The sledge run from Kreuzboden down to Saas-Grund leads through small villages and past Alpine huts and makes for roughly half an hour of safe, snowy fun for the whole family. The longest sledge run in Saastal offers an amazing view across the mountain landscape of the Mischabel Massif.

The toboggan descent begins at Kreuzboden station at around 2,400 m, the highest point on the route. Bergrestaurant Kreuzboden stands right by the start. From the open heights, the route heads down into the valley; rocky sections initially characterise the surroundings before the houses of Triftalp are reached after almost three kilometres.

Below the alp, the long descent continues through alternating open terrain and forest. Over ten kilometres, the toboggan run loses around 860 metres in elevation. The Antoniuskapelle near Bidermatten lies around 200 metres off the route. Built in 1692, the chapel stands on the old valley path on the right-hand side of the valley.

In the final third, the first houses of Saas-Grund draw closer, and the route emerges from the forest into the built-up area. After a little over two hours, the ride ends in the village at around 1,550 m. The Saas-Grund, Parkplatz Bergbahn stop is located directly by the finish.
