Set off to the west from Bettmeralp cable car mountain station and you’ll reach the valley station of the Gletscherbahn Moosfluh combi-lift in about 25 minutes. It’s then just a few minutes by gondola up to Moosfluh view point – a fantastic vantage point overlooking the Great Aletsch Glacier as well as the start of the sledge run. From there you sledge back down to Bettmeralp via “Scheene Bodu” and Lake Bettmersee. Accompanying you all the way down the high-speed sledge run: fabulous views of the Valais mountains. Please note: sledges can be hired at the local sports stores.
You can check the status report at any time to see whether the toboggan run is open.
