Sledging just like our grandfathers did
In order to steer a horn sledge down the mountain with a certain precision, the helmsman between the horns is not enough. A whole team is required which actively assists him behind his back, literally. The ideal horn sledge crew consists of five members: the front helmsman, three crew for braking and a rear helmsman for steering support.
In the middle of a skiing resort in the upper part of the Toggenburg region at an altitude of 1200 metres you will be introduced to the art of riding the horn sledge. On a marked training run you will soon reach ‘slope maturity’.
After mastering the basic techniques, a snow-grooming machine takes the guests and their sledges to a dedicated ski slope. This is a beautiful piste which is wide and not too steep, ideal for your adventure. And off you go...!
Fondue Fun
To round off the day you get treated to an ‘à discretion’ cheese Fondue (all you can eat) in a nearby restaurant with a cosy atmosphere. The grand finale of the day makes a thrilling toboggan run down into the valley on a classic ‘Davoser’ wooden sledge.
Safety
The safety of all participants is our highest priority. For this purpose, we have chosen a slope which runs out smoothly and ends into a hill on the other side.
