The sledging run starts at the Männlichen mountain station, which is accessible by cable car from Wengen or Grindelwald. From the Männlichen, the run descends over 1,000 metres in elevation to the Holenstein middle station in the direction of Grindelwald. As you cruise down the mountain, you have a great view of the Grindelwald Valley and the mountain range from the Eiger to the Wetterhorn. If there’s enough snow, you can even sledge all the way down to the Grindelwald bottom station.

Getting There
Public transport

From Interlaken Ost station you can reach Grindelwald directly without changing trains with the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB). The blue-yellow train has to be entered on the rear part of the platforms in Interlaken, as the train divides into Zweilütschinen. The journey takes 33 minutes.
Getting there
From Interlaken follow the main road in the direction of Zweilütschinen. There you turn left towards Grindelwald. The whole trip takes about 30 minutes and is partly winding.
