Toboggan run on the Wiriehorn
Naturpark Diemtigtal - The chairlift takes you comfortably up the mountain, after which the varied, 5 km long toboggan run on the Wiriehorn takes you through the forest and across fields back down into the valley.
The toboggan run on the Wiriehorn is suitable for young and old. Families tend to take it easy, while more advanced sledgers like to pick up the pace or even use the fast branch-off run. Once you reach the bottom of the valley, the chairlift is already waiting for you and a new sledging tour can begin. A full run, including the chairlift ride, takes around 45 minutes.

Safety advices
You are in control of your own speed on the sledge. Please always adapt it to your riding skills and sledging knowledge.
Signalization
At the top station of the chairlift on Nüegg, turn right immediately and follow the wide path to Untere Heiteren. The path slopes gently here and you have to pull your sledge. But that doesn't matter, because you'll be wonderfully warmed up for the sledging fun that follows. From Untere Heiteren it's all downhill. Simply follow the sledging markings. The trail continues through the wonderfully snow-covered mountain forest. About halfway down, you have the option of turning right and taking the fast branch-off route for advanced skiers.
Shortly before the end of the toboggan run, you will reach an inhabited area and cross a road that is occasionally used by cars. Before crossing, check that the path is really clear on both sides before continuing.
