About this experience

We will start with Swiss Chocolates tasting (5 kinds: blond to dark). After good dose of sugar, I'll explain to you how to safely steer the sled with some sledding techniques. They can be very fast so it's necessary to do it with experienced teacher!

Our sled run is very long and perfect for beginners, children, but also for those who like a bit of speed. So it's FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. It's a very nice way to discover beauty of Swiss mountains.

After 1,5h amazing fun on a sledding for those who booked tour with FONDUE option, we will stop in scenic secret spot to start our culinary experience on the slopes for a fullfiling lunch.
