Hint

Intro

From the sunny terrace of Rosswald down to the cable car valley station in Ried-Brig – first through a number of fast stretches, then on a more leisurely pace. Along the way you’ll pass through wintry conifer forests coated in snow and the Rosswald alpine pasture.

Description

A well-prepared sledge run spanning 8 kilometres leads from Rosswald down to Ried-Brig. The experience begins the moment you step out of the cable car that takes you to the starting point at Rosswald, where you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the upper Rhône Valley. The sledge route covers 783 metres in altitude from start to finish and includes plenty of twists and turns, as well as a few more leisurely stretches.

The route begins directly below the Rosswald Bahnen mountain station and ends close to the Ried-Brig valley station. There’s also plenty of variety along the way for sporty types. The first phase of the route passes through a number of fast stretches, whilst the second takes on a more leisurely pace as the course broadens out.

The run leads through snow-capped conifer forests before reaching its conclusion down at the Ried-Brig valley station. The cable car valley station can also be reached by taking one of the buses that leaves regularly from Brig railway station. Ready, set, go!

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
