Description: The Männlichen offers not only impressive views, but also fast toboggan runs. One of them is the toboggan run, which starts at the mountain station. The route then descends to over 1000 metres in the direction of Grindelwald to the middle station of Holenstein. On the way, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Grindelwald valley and the mountain range from the Eiger to the Wetterhorn. Depending on your mood, you can take the cable car up to the summit as often as you like and then set off again on the toboggan run. If there is enough snow, you can even go for a hike with the Snooc (snowshoe ski).
Directions: Ride on the Männlichen by cable car (via Grindelwald) or cable car (Wengen)
