Itinerary

Meeting points
Meeting Point

We pick you up at the agreed meeting point and head up the mountain by bus or train.


Welcome & Introduction
30 mins

The guide team will welcome you at the starting point. After a brief introduction, you receive your gear: sled or Velogemel. The guides explain how to ride safely, what to watch out for, and how to handle the corners. Then off you go!

Descent through the Winter Landscape
1 - 1.5 hrs

The groomed paths lead you through breathtaking natural scenery. Depending on the group dynamics, the pace can be sporty or leisurely. The guides accompany you, offering tips along the way or announcing more challenging sections in advance. It's not a race but an experience that brings people together.

Break or Fondue Stop
1 hr

Those who want to end the day can stop for an aperitif in the snow or fondue in a hut. Here, you can enjoy conversations, laughter, and the feeling of being somewhere completely different, which often gets lost in daily work life. Mulled wine is served only after the last corner.

Weather info

General weather info

Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.

Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.

Activity-specific weather info

Our events can be affected by weather conditions; however, it is difficult to predict exactly how an event will be impacted until closer to the event day. We monitor conditions carefully to ensure all activities remain within our safety limits, and bad weather does not necessarily mean a cancellation.

If we are unable to run an event as planned, we will do our best to adjust the program to offer a similar experience or to find an alternative date. If neither option is possible, we will provide a full refund.
