Central Switzerland: Toboggan run with spectacular view
On this 4 kilometres, from Rigi Burggeist to Gschwänd extended route, piste raudis as well as families get their money's worth. The start is at 1551 metres above sea level, in Rigi Burggeist. Via the Gätterlipass, the slope runs down to Gschwänd, where the Obergschwend-Rigi Burggeist cable car takes tobogganists back to Rigi Burggeist. Sledging does not require any special technical skills and can be practised by anyone.

Author’s recommendation
A piece of fine Gersau's traditional cheese pie as a refreshment in the mountain inn Rigi Burggeist is a must for me.
