Questions and answers about summer toboggan runs in Switzerland.
A summer toboggan run is an outdoor recreational facility where you ride down a mountain on small sleds on fixed tracks – similar to winter, but on wheels or rails. The tracks are usually winding and provide speed and fun. Each toboggan has brake levers that allow you to control your speed. It’s a safe and weather-resistant activity for all ages. You often reach the starting point by chairlift, lift, or on foot. Some runs offer spectacular mountain views. Helmets are usually not required but often recommended. Summer toboggan runs are widespread throughout Switzerland.
Age limits vary by run, but generally, children aged 3 years and older can ride accompanied by an adult. From about 8 years old, many children are allowed to ride alone if they are tall enough to brake safely. Minimum heights (e.g., 120 cm) often apply as well. You can find the exact requirements at the respective run on site or on their website. Safety always comes first, and staff ensure rules are followed. Many facilities offer special child seats or safety belts. An accompanying person must often be at least 15 or 16 years old. Inquire about local regulations before your visit.
