Sled run Braunwald Grotzenbüel – Hüttenberg
Sledding down the slopes of the Grotzenbüel – Hüttenberg sled run with a sense of exhilaration. The sled run in the midst of the beautiful panorama of the Glarus mountains is a highlight for young and old.
Sled run Weissenberge
The attractive 3 km sled run leads along the fascinating and wildly romantic Chrauchtal gorge. Thanks to its even gradient, it is well known among all sporty sledders! The sled run is prepared daily in winter with modern snow-making equipment. The cable car is in continuous operation on beautiful winter weekends.
Sled run Kerenzerberg
Where in summer the trotting horses speed down, in winter the snow turns the road into a sled run. A spectacular ride, right towards Lake Walensee. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you might discover the Talalpsee, a lake nestled between the mountain flanks and covered in snow. If that’s not enough action, the only thing left to do is take a ride on the new e-bobsleigh.
