A Family Day Away From the Pistes

Even though the wintertime means that not all stations are in operation the theme trail is a wonderful addition to a fulfilling ski holiday. Our children like to ski, but after two or three days in a ski course we are looking for an alternative program. So we grabbed a toboggan, went with the Dorfbahn and the Panoramabahn up to the Burtschasattel and set out to rediscover nature. Most of the time we are sledging and when we pull the sledge it is on groomed winter hiking trails. It is wonderfully quiet in the forest during the winter.

Our children are far ahead of us, they have already walked to the next station. I am thrilled that the trail playfully informs them of interesting facts about nature - we learn a lot about hunting and the forest, about the soil and the weather, about alpine dangers and the project "Respect your borders" and so much more! Toboggan runs, and well-groomed winter hiking trails make for effortless travel. The natural jump path ends at the Alpe Parpfienz. From here it is only a few meters to the cable car where the toboggan run “Eggen” makes a serious of fast turns back to Brand.
