Selected alternatives for you

    Enjoy a fast sled ride with the whole family at the foot of the impressive Gastlosen. The 4-seater chairlift Gastlosen-Express takes you up to 1,540 m above sea level, and after a 10-minute walk, the pure fun begins. Action and fun are guaranteed, see for yourself.

    Upon arrival, parking spaces are available opposite the bottom station of the Gastlosen-Express. Please purchase your ticket at the ticket counter located opposite the "Rollendes" refreshment stand. After the ascent, walk towards the Bärghus and follow the prepared footpath for about 10 minutes to the panoramic viewpoint. There your unforgettable sled ride begins.

    Halfway, you can take your first break and enjoy the unique panorama during a 10-minute slightly uphill walk at your leisure. The second part of the sled ride promises speed; from 1,350 m above sea level, it goes down to the valley floor. After 800 m along the Jaunbach, you return to the starting point, the bottom station of the Gastlosen-Express.

    Author’s recommendation

    Full Moon Sledding

    Experience Jaun by night, even the ascent with the Gastlosen Express in the spotlight and its ghostly shadows is an experience. Enjoy a fondue before the fast sled ride at the Bärghus. Reservation mandatory (see online registration form Fondue-Plausch). More information is available at www.jaun-bergbahnen.ch.

    Safety information

    For your optimal safety, please wear a ski helmet; speeds can be very high depending on conditions.

    The sledding path is used multiple times, meaning that parts of it are also shared by hiking and snowshoeing guests as well as the transport vehicle for the Soldatenhaus. Mutual consideration and tolerance are therefore required. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

    Tips and suggestions

    For refreshments, the self-service restaurant "Chalet Bärghus" is available at the top station, or you can use your own backpack. In any case, a snack in between is highly recommended.

    Prices and further information can be found at www.jaun-bergbahnen.ch.
