best season

The fast-paced sledging run from the Grosse Scheidegg down to the Schwarzwaldalp is legendary and enjoys an excellent reputation that extends far beyond the valley.

With the post bus directly into the tobogganing fun - after a leisurely ride through the spectacular Reichenbach Valley, the fast-paced tobogganing fun begins at the foot of the mighty Wetterhorn.

Thanks to its remote location and reliable snow conditions, the Reichenbach Valley with Rosenlaui and Schwarzwaldalp is a paradise for touring skiers, snowshoe hikers and sledders in winter. The iconic post bus takes you to the starting point on the Grosse Scheidegg. The road leads through a wildly romantic landscape covered in deep snow. A fun-filled toboggan ride through the unique natural landscape finally takes you to Schwarzwaldalp. The route with a pleasant incline is suitable for beginners and experts alike. With the day ticket, you can take the post bus back up to Grosse Scheidegg as often as you like and enjoy further toboggan rides.
