The Gurten sled run

Sled run in Bern

If there is enough snow cover, you can whiz down the sled run from the top station to the middle station. The sled run is only 17 minutes from Bern central station. Traditional wooden sleds can be rented at the top station.

You can also go sledding on the large expanse of the Gurten meadow. The short run from the Ostsignal down to the plain is particularly suitable for young children.

Mon.–Sun.: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

Operation is dependent on the snow cover. You can check if the sledding run is open using the symbol in the website menu.
