Sledging on Bussalp

If the conditions are good in terms of the snow, you can go sledging on the winter hiking trails and on the road from Bussalp to Weidli.

Before you head downhill on the sledge, you can make your first turns on a sledge in the Fun Snowpark. It doesn't always have to be with the classic sledge. You can also rent toboggans or bikes on site. If you haven't had enough in the evening, you can register for night sledging by 02:00 pm.

In case of crossing course buses, you must stop and step off the sledge at the side of the trail. Several vehicles might drive behind each other in a convoy.
