01/ Overview

The route

Sledging fun for all age groups awaits on the Wiriehorn at the heart of the Diemtigtal Nature Park. Race down this pine-tree flanked run from the top station of the chairlift to the valley below.

The sledging trail begins at Wiriehorn mountain station and the Diemtigen Nüegg stop. The Nüegg mountain restaurant stands right beside it. At around 1,420 m, this is already the highest point of the route. From the outset, the descent sweeps down the valley across open slopes. At first, the landscape remains expansive, before sections of forest begin to flank the trail and narrow the view.

After the upper section, the sledging trail approaches the houses of Zwischenflüh. The gradient gradually becomes gentler, and open areas once again alternate with woodland. Further down, the route passes through Enetchirl and heads towards Wiriehorn valley station. After around five kilometres, 440 metres of descent and a little over an hour, the destination is reached at just under 1,000 m. The Diemtigen Riedli stop is located directly beside the valley station.

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.
