Sledging options near Grindelwald?

Short summary – read this first

A traveler is planning to visit Jungfrau in the morning on December 20th and then head to Grindelwald for sledging in the evening. They are looking for suggestions on other cheaper sledging options available around the Jungfrau region.

Key takeaways:
  • Check out the toboggan run in Mürren, as it's one of the closest options to Jungfrau.
  • The Grindelwald toboggan run is the longest in the world, so it may be worth the price.
  • Sledging is generally cheaper than skiing in the region.

    I’m not sure if any toboggan runs are significantly cheaper, but perhaps a little (Grindelwald has the worlds longest run!). Have a look at a list of Swiss tobogganing runs here – Mürren is the closest I believe.

    Bit far afield but fun none the less – youtu.be/LSYBqT8Y-pg and goo.gl/b9LcaS

    (and you reckon the Grindelwald one is the longest Lucas?)

    Hi Lucas,

    Just by the by, the term “sledging” always make me chuckle because en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Sledging_(cricket)

    The Australian cricket team are world class at this activity (which I’m sure would be frowned on in Switzerland) although they always plead innocence. All team members are well-schooled in the “butter wouldn’t melt . . . .” look. 🏏

    It always amazes me how many slang words the Aussies have. 🙂

    Cricket is one of those games I’ve seen pictures of on BBC news but that is it…

    Hi Samfrula,

    Sledding is for sure much cheaper than skiing, but I would not think there is a big difference between the various runs. Here’s a page explaining about activities in the snow: http://www.myswissalps.com/ac tivities/snow

    Have fun!
