First the work: the sled must be pulled up over 450 meters of elevation. But after the work, the pleasure! Then it goes rapidly on the M-shaped trail back down to the valley. The sledding trail in Täsch is very popular with locals.
- breathtaking view from the Täschberg chapel down on Täsch
- at Eggstadel a view of the Matterhorn
