People are sledging, while in the background, the Matterhorn rises majestically, covered in snow.

Sledding on the highest sled run of the Alps

View of the Matterhorn guaranteed

Not only is the sled run from Rotenboden, 2,815 metres to Riffelberg, 2,582 metres above sea level on the Gornergrat the highest in the Alps but also one of the most beautiful: it is located in a wonderful mountain setting. The high-speed descent through a snow-covered landscape is pure action! When you have the Sledding daypass you can travel from Zermatt up to Rotenboden and then make as many sled runs between Rotenboden and Riffelberg, going up again by train, as you like. You move the whole day in an alpine landscape, surrounded by 29 four-thousand-meter peaks including the Matterhorn. If you want to go all the way up to the Gornergrat, our SnowFunPass is the right thing for you.

Wear the appropriate equipment:

Warm winter Clothing and gloves
Sturdy shoes with good grip for steering and braking (no trainers, high heels or ski boots)
A snow sports helmet

Follow these safety instructions:

Familiarize yourself with braking and steering techniques
Children should sit at the front and close to the adult
Do not bring dogs onto the sledding run

Sledding like you’ve never done before – with a Snooc

The latest trend is swooping down the highest sled run in the Alps on a Snooc, which is a seat fixed onto a short ski. You can steer it with your weight or your legs and it’s great fun for young and old. Whether the slope is steep or flat, piste or powder snow, sunny or foggy the Snooc offers an unrivalled experience for getting down a mountain. Rent your Snooc directly at the Rotenboden station.
