Miniature railway

The lovingly laid out miniature railway travels over hills, through a tunnel and along the water’s edge. The miniature railway has traveled around the fun park for more than 60 years.

Toboggan run

The toboggan run can be found at the exit from the Gurten funicular top station. For young or old, a ride on the toboggan is great fun. Tight bends, quick straights and even a tunnel mean that thrills and butterflies in your stomach are guaranteed. You are also treated to a stunning view over the Alps and across the capital’s rooftops.

On Stefan Grünfelder’s legendary ball run, children can spend an hour levering, turning, winding and jiggling until the game is done from start to finish. Stretching 300 meters and including countless fascinating mechanisms and sections of track fans of all ages will be absolutely delighted.

Climbing frames

On the Gschtelasch, a large wooden construction with nets, climbing tunnel and slide, children can jump around and let off steam for hours on end. The sturdy “Crealino” concrete dragon is also ideal for playing, climbing and jumping around. Other obstacles with different levels of difficulty, a slide and plenty of places to hide on the playground offer hours of fun.

The climbing frames and the entire playground are freely accessible every day at no cost.

Nuggi tree

Children can hand in their nuggies at the nuggi tree. With a loving story about why the nuggi belongs on this tree, parents can support their children in weaning off the pacifier. Help little ones hang the nuggi on the tree with a goodbye ritual. Colored ribbons are provided so the pacifier can be easily hung.

The Nuggi tree is freely accessible every day at no cost.
