The longer toboggan run on the Gemmi starts from Gemmi Lodge 2350 heading west and leads in a wide curve down to Daubensee. The ideal warm-up. The run is less demanding and more even than the "Gemmiblitz" route. You can get back to the start on the Gemmipass with the small shuttle cable car. Sporty people 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.
