Cult on two runners – the Niederhorn–Vorsass sled run is a must for children, young people, and the young at heart. Nothing refreshes the spirits like a fast descent. Childhood memories come alive, and everyone has fun. Enjoy the unique view over Lake Thun and the snow-covered peaks of the Bernese Oberland during the approximately 30-minute sled ride.

On the over 3 km long sled run, you speed down the mountain. Upon arrival at the Vorsass middle station, you board the group cable car again towards Niederhorn and the fun can start all over. The snowy winter landscape lines the path like a fairy tale, and the mountain panorama is overwhelming. Experienced sledders get full enjoyment here. The moderately difficult sled run can also easily be navigated by beginners. Sleds can be rented at the Niederhorn mountain station for a small fee.
