Tobogganing

If you don’t have a Skibock, then you’re not really from Adelboden! In the olden days, children used the Skibock (consisting of a sawn-off ski, a vertical piece of wood and a horizontal wooden board which is used as seat) to go to school. Today, the Skibock is a must-have item for everyone from Adelboden. Those who prefer a more classic approach have a huge number of sleds to choose from. In total, there are more than 100 km of tobogganing runs in the Bernese Oberland.

One of the longest tobogganing runs in Switzerland promises a lot of fun. The “Big Pintenfritz” can be found in the Jungfrau Ski Region. At 2681 m above sea level, from the summit of the Faulhorn the 8-km-long tobogganing run descends via the Bussalp to Grindelwald. However, in order to enjoy the pleasure of this fast-paced descent, you will first have to hike for 2 ½ hours to the summit of the Faulhorn.
