Xtreme "Sledging" in the Swiss Alps - Männlichen to Holenstein, Switzerland

Sledging video captured with my ContourROAM helmet camera. Sledging is what Americans would call "sledding," but in the Swiss Alps, the activity is not about childlike play down small hillsides. Sledging is the more athletic and adventurous version ("adult play") of the American view of sledding, and an actual sports activity in Europe. More than 43 miles of sledging trails sprawl the trio of peaks that surround Interlaken. These narrow, groomed trails are designed to accommodate the classic wooden sled(ge)s and the sometimes-dragging feet of riders, who leans to and fro to control trajectory on the rapid downward journey. Sledging trails are a main feature of Swiss Alp ski resorts. Give it a try and when you get home you can tell your friends you did a little "Piste de Luge!"

Winter-walking fans have plenty of choice in the Jungfrau Region when it comes to strolling through spectacular snow-clad landscapes. Hiking is seventh heaven with stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau. Those with a taste for action can speed down to the valley on the world's longest and most spectacular sledge run from the Faulhorn to Grindelwald. And the Eiger Run along the foot of the Eiger North Wall is a particularly thrilling sledge piste.
