Selected alternatives for you

The Gemmiblitz is the more challenging sledding route on the Gemmi. It leads down to the Daubensee in a lightning-fast zigzag and provides a little adrenaline rush.

Directly at the mountain station begins the shorter, faster sledding route on the Gemmi. It runs under the small cable car and ends with a bumpy finish at the valley station. With the small cable car you can return back to the start at the Gemmipass. Athletic ones can also hike back to the starting point on foot.

Sleds can be rented at the mountain station. Sled rental: CHF 10.- / 120 minutes. Daubensee cable car per ride CHF 7.- for adults / CHF 3.50 for children.
