Closed
The children's ski lift and the toboggan run will remain closed this winter season 2023/24 due to the Gurtenbahn renovation. Sledges and skis can therefore not be hired.

* Operation is dependent on the snow cover. You can check if the children’s ski lift is open using the symbol in the website menu.
