The route leads along the road through the snow-covered winter landscape from Belalp to Erich/Tschuggen.

Equipped with their sledges, the sledgers set off from the top station of the gondola lift. The run takes you through a chalet settlement and the charming Alpe Bel, from where you continue along the Tätschenstrasse through the forest down to the Erich/Tschuggen middle station.

Of course, if conditions are suitable, you can also continue along the road and sledge down to Blatten.

Sledges can be hired during the opening hours of the Belalp Bahnen ticket office. Further information: www.belalp.ch
