Cross-country skiing
Alpine topography is
not naturally blessed with many areas suitable for Nordic cross-country
skiing. But cross-country skiers are well catered for in the
lovely Lauterbrunnen Valley.
The 12 km Lauterbrunnen - Stechelberg piste glides along the banks
of the Weisse Lütschine River into the far end of the valley,
catering for both classic and skating styles. In Blumental, high above
Mürren, you'll find the sunny 2 km Mürren -Sonnenberg run.
The annual "Inferno Cross-Country Ski Race" takes place
in Lauterbrunnen in January.

Tobogganing
A Cool "Hot Tip" - Tobogganing!
Tobogganing, as seen here on the fantastic forest run from Sulwald to Isenfluh,
has a long tradition in the area. The familiar wooden toboggans are still often
used as a means of transport on snow covered village streets and paths and the
well known "Grindelwald" model is of course made in the village.
Tobogganing remains a great favorite with all age groups, local people and
guests alike. Toboggans and bobs can be hired at local sports shops and
night-time tobogganing is organized by the local Ski School. Don't miss the
exciting annual toboggan race Sulwald - Isenfluh, held in February.
