Take a long, family-friendly sled run beneath the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, then warm up with Swiss chocolate tasting and an optional cheese fondue on a hidden alpine stop. This three-hour tour pairs playful descent with hands-on local flavor, ending at Holenstein station for easy returns to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen.

The sled tugs at the snow as you push off, wind cutting across a wide alpine bowl with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau standing like granite guardians ahead. Packed snow flashes by beneath the sled; at times the run chisels through a bright pine band where cones rain a soft percussion, and at others it opens to panoramic meadows that dare a little speed.
