- Description
-
This approx. 3 km long toboggan run offers us 18 curves, which bring us to Davos, which is 300 metres lower. A ride up the mountain with the Schatzalpbahn can be done until 22:00 hrs. As the curves of the track are illuminated, a late descent is also possible - nevertheless we should have a headlamp or flashlight with us.
- Directions
-
Our sledge tour starts in Davos Platz at the valley station of the Schatzalp cable car. From here we take the cable car which takes us to Schatzalp, where there is a refreshment stop. After a good view of the Landwassertal and Davos we get ready for the descent. The groomed slope, which is closed to cars, takes us on well signposted paths directly to Davos. Our end point is between Davos village and Davos square. Via the promenade we either walk or take the city bus back to the valley station - for the way back we should allow some extra time.
