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.

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.
This experience merges two long Swiss threads: winter hill-running and communal alpine food culture. Sledding in the Bernese Oberland is a practical, decades-old pastime—local paths were used for winter travel and later adapted for recreation—while cheese fondue evolved in mountain households as a high-calorie, shareable meal. The chocolate tasting that begins the tour traces Switzerland’s well-known confectionary tradition from blond to dark varieties, a quick primer before the cold sharpens the senses.
Expect a mostly groomed, varied descent suitable for beginners and children, with sections that allow faster runs for more confident sledgers. The tour finishes at Holenstein station, with transit options back to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen.
Practical guide: dress in layered, water-resistant clothing and insulated boots; bring goggles and a small daypack for snacks and camera. Sled rental and tickets are typically not included—confirm in advance. If you opt for the fondue add-on, notify the guide about dietary needs; the host will often cook the fondue in a scenic, sheltered spot. Weather can change quickly at alpine elevations—start early for firmer snow and clearer views, and carry a charged phone and a small first-aid kit.

Sledding in the Bernese Oberland grew from practical winter travel routes; cheese fondue became a communal mountain meal popularized in 19th-century Swiss alpine farms.
