Please note.
As far as I can tell the current situation is that, following a fatal accident in July 2025, the Heimwehfluh Toboggan Run in Interlaken remains closed.
The authorities determined that ongoing maintenance was insufficient to meet safety standards and it is not known when the facility will resume operations.
Please check with the Heimwehfluh authorities for yourself before making a special journey.
