  • Sometimes fast, sometimes a bit more relaxed, the route goes downhill from Prui to Ftan.

Selected alternatives for you
    The classic in the Engadin: The toboggan run from Prui to Ftan mainly runs through the forest and impresses with its view of the villages and Tarasp Castle.

    The entry to the toboggan run is located at over 2000 meters, west of the mountain restaurant Prümaran Prui. Almost a must: enjoy the view over the Lower Engadin before the descent. The shared piste for tobogganers and winter hikers then leads to the entry of the toboggan run.

    The first section of the toboggan run, facing southeast, is quite straight before the piste leads into the forest "God S-chür", where many small curves challenge technical skills. After a little more than one kilometer, a sharp right curve follows. This maneuver is rewarded with the wonderful view over Ftan Pitschen, a typical Engadin village. The last section to the valley station of the Ftan-Prui cable car is clear and suitable for a fast descent. Overall, about two of the three kilometers run through the forest.

    Author’s recommendation

    The toboggan run is also a night toboggan run. For more information, please see here.
