From Fiesch, take the gondola lift up to the Fiescheralp. From the mountain station, walk in an easterly direction for around 5 minutes to the start of the Fiescheralp - Lax toboggan run. Now 11 km of pure sledging fun awaits! The initially fast but safe section is followed by a romantic run through snow-covered forests that ends just above Lax. From Lax, the sports bus or the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (train) will take you back to Fiesch.

You can check the status report at any time to see whether the toboggan run is open.
