With over 50 kilometers of toboggan runs, the Jungfrau region is one of those places where you suddenly understand why adults voluntarily go down a mountain on a wooden sled. Speed, cornering, or simply “I’ll see where I end up”: it’s all possible here. Although the latter is less practical, because it goes faster than you think and we like to make it to the bottom in one piece. The Fox run The route along the Lauberhorn towards Wengen is for the fanatics with steering skills (or the illusion thereof). A bit more relaxed, but at least as much fun, are the descents around Murren en Male. Do you want a truly epic descent? Then there is the Big Pintenfritz: an 11 km long tobogganing classic and one of the longest in Europe. Take the cable car to Grindelwald-First (2.166 m) in 25 minutes, after which it is another 2,5 hours of climbing with your sled via the hiking trail to the Faulhorn. At the top: helmet on, sled ready, and enjoy a descent you have hard-earned.

Have you always wanted to fly high above the mountaintops? Say no more. Take the lift from Grindelwald to Grindelwald-First and the fun can begin. With the First Glider You soar like an eagle (but a little less smoothly, perhaps a bit more screaming) through the mountains. You lie on your stomach in a sort of paraglider and fly at high speed over the white valley.

And then there is the First flyer: a zipline that lets you whiz down the mountain at high speed. You are strapped into a chair attached to a steel cable and are sent down four at a time. Tip: don't forget to breathe with all that wind in your face.

Are you not a speed demon, but still want to hit the slopes? Then is Cross country skiing aka cross-country skiing/skating maybe something for you.

Off the slopes, you will find in Grindelwald Special cross-country and skating trails where you glide at your leisure through the winter landscape, without having to keep your skis under control at 50 km/h with shaky knees. Cross-country skiing is the classic variant: calm, rhythmic, and in tracks. Skating is just a bit more sporty and resembles ice skating somewhat, with a sideways “roller-skate” motion. Both methods primarily get you doing one thing: stopping occasionally because the view is too beautiful not to take a look at.

There is a classic cross-country ski between of 9km long and a 10,5km long skating between. That is good for about 45 minutes to 2 hours of slacking fun.
