Ride a moonlit sled through forested slopes and frozen waterfalls above Interlaken, then warm up with a traditional Swiss cheese fondue. This guided winter outing combines a gondola ascent, a roughly one-hour sled run and a local alpine meal.

The gondola opens onto a cold hush: stars pin the sky and a soft rim of snow lights the trail. You breathe winter air that smells like pine and cold iron; the guide straps your sled and points down a ribbon of packed snow that threads through firs, across open meadows and past frozen waterfalls that glitter like glass.
