💡TIP: If you are also hiking, you rent the sled for after your hike instead of riding the cable car down.

How to get there

This sled run is accessed by the Weissenberge cable car - Alte Strasse 7, 8766 Matt.

By car: There is a small parking lot next to the cable car or street parking as directed by staff. About 1h15 from Zürich.

By public transport: Train to Schwanden GL, then bus to Matt, Dorf. About 1h30-2h from Zürich HB.

On busy weekends, the cable car runs continuously, if there is demand. On weekdays, it runs about every 30 mins, hour break at lunchtime.

Note that there can be a long wait at the cable car (up to 1h), since it is continually bringing sledders back up the mountain for another ride.
