Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
A short cable car ride above Grindelwald reaches the Pfingstegg viewpoint, where a 736 metre stainless steel toboggan track winds back down the mountainside. You sit in a wheeled sledge, control your own speed with a brake lever and reach up to 40 km/h through the bends. The same station has a Fly-Line zip ride and easy hiking trails with views over the Bernese Alps.
Why it works for a dad and child
A younger child rides on the dad's sledge holding tight while he works the brake, so the thrill is shared rather than watched. Older kids from age eight can take their own sledge and race alongside.
