    First, take the gondola from Grindelwald to First. At First, you have the options to rent a sled, buy any forgotten equipment in the sports shop, take a short restroom break, or enjoy a warm drink or meal.
    From First, first walk a few meters towards the valley station of the Oberjoch chairlift. Caution: You must cross the ski slope there. Then the sledding path leads first alongside, later on and parallel to the ski slope towards Schreckfeld. The sledding path is well marked with purple slope poles. At Schreckfeld, you have the option to use the First-Glider. There you will find a picnic room or a restaurant for a short break.
    From Schreckfeld, it goes leisurely on towards Egg. After the rather flat section, a rapid descent follows to the Bort station. At Bort, you have the choice either to take the gondola back up to First, visit the Berghaus Bort, or take the gondola down to the valley. With good snow conditions, the sledding path from Bort to Grindelwald is also open.

    Here you can check the status of the sledding paths.

    Author’s recommendation

    • At the ticket counter, you can buy a sledding day pass, which allows you to enjoy unlimited sledding fun.
    • Fly through the fresh mountain air with the First Flyer and/or First Glider.
