Overview

WINTER EDITION

On this trip: We're gonna have a traditional Swiss meal - CHEESE FONDUE for lunch.

As a tour guide, I'll tell you stories about the area and you will get tips on what to see in the next days. We're gonna have amazing fun on a sledding safari (around 1,5h). I'll explain to you how to safely steer the sled with some sledding techniques. They can be fast!

Our sled run is long and perfect for beginners, and children, but also for those who like a bit of speed. So it's FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. It's a very fun way to discover the true beauty of Swiss landscapes.

Later we'll stop in a scenic spot to start our culinary experience - SWISS CHEESE FONDUE on the slopes.

Our tour will end in Holenstein station as it's easy to return to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen.

Now that you are confirmed sledgers, you can go down this route again or take a faster run. Bad weather? It can be done in different conditions.
Route and meeting point may change.

After introducing ourselves and getting to know each other I will explain to you how to steer the sled and how to operate it safely with some good sledding techniques.

Our sled run will start from there and end at Holenstein station. This sledding run is a great opportunity for those who want to see the true beauty of the Swiss countryside. It offers beautiful views of the three world-famous mountains: Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau.

After an exciting and fun 1.5 hours of sledding, we will stop in my scenic secret spot to start our culinary experience. I will introduce you to the history and the tradition of the legendary Swiss cheese fondue, by cooking this delicious dish for you, surrounded by mountain views.

Once our lunch is finished, I will tell you more about the Swiss culture and traditions of this region.

Our tour will end in Holenstein station and you will have the opportunity to return to Grindelwald or the Lauterbrunnen Valley very easily. Now that you are confirmed sledgers, you can go down this route again or take a faster run.

Weronika passionately shares about the history and stories of Switzerland chocolate / cheese / landmarks and so much more. Sledding was extremely beginner friendly and lots of fun too. Highly recommended!

Weronika was very knowledgeable of the area and had a lot of great information to share. We booked the sledding excursion well in advance and initially had some great communication about what to expect/bring. The area we were meeting at had experienced heavy snowfall the night/early morning prior to our excursion. Unbeknownst to us, the mountain peak where we were meeting at had been closed off for sledding due to unfavorable sledding conditions. We were in line to ride the lift up when the ride attendant let us know the area was unavailable for sledders. A few moments before this, I had sent Weronika a note to let her know we were on our way. A few minutes later, she called me to let us know that the area had been closed and that we would meet elsewhere, not far away. We wasted some time in line to get a refund for the lift tickets we had purchased. Getting to this new area cost us an additional €108 (it would’ve been double had we not had the Swiss pass). It would’ve been helpful had Weronika checked the meeting location conditions early morning and let us know ahead of time that the area was closed. This lack of planning caused for wasted time in transit and additional expense in getting to the new location. This was our first time sledding and I think we would’ve benefited from spending more time learning how to steer and control the sled. We did get to enjoy the fondue along the course of our adventure and it was delicious. I hope that my review is taken as constructive criticism and not a knock against our time together. Thanks for showing us around!

Sliding down snowy hills and diving into a cheesy fondue feast afterward – this combo is the ultimate winter joy, marrying the thrill of sledding with the comfort of gooey goodness.

This was a super fun experience! Tasted some yummy chocolate with stunning views, then headed down the mountain on on a sledge (they go fast!!). The day was finished off with Weronika showing a me a lovely little spot to have some fondue. Weronika was so friendly and helpful, even helping me out the day before on tips for parking, passes and where to rent the sledge. She knew heaps and heaps about the region, highly recommend! Very keen to come back in the summer.
