Feeblitz Saas-Fee: the summer toboggan run that makes the whole family laugh
Want a shot of thrills in Valais? The Feeblitz summer toboggan run in Saas-Fee lets both young and old zip through a magnificent alpine setting, safely and at your own pace.
A playful getaway in the heart of Saas-Fee
In Saas-Fee, a car-free village surrounded by peaks, Feeblitz offers a rail sled that winds between forests and rocks. You choose your speed, share a big thrill, and enjoy the invigorating mountain air. A perfect idea for a light outing, with a real taste of vacation.
What your children will love
The chairlift ride to the sledding area sets the mood. Then, off you go: tight turns, little bumps, and big smiles. Children love managing the control, watching the scenery pass by, and trying for a second run to "do better." The sensations are accessible, without loops, providing a true feeling of autonomy.
Who it’s suitable for and how much time to plan
- From 3 years old accompanied by an adult. From around 8 years old, many children can go down alone (depending on height and local rules).
- Plan for 30 to 60 minutes on site, depending on crowds and the number of runs. The descent itself lasts a few minutes.
- It’s a dynamic but controlled activity, more playful than sporty.
Practical: tickets, access, and season
- No need to book for a few runs; tickets can be purchased at the counter. Packs for multiple rides are often available.
- Open from the beautiful season at the beginning of autumn, depending on weather and tourist periods. Operations may stop in case of rain, storms, or strong winds. Check the website on the day itself.
- Saas-Fee is pedestrian: you park at the entrance of the village, then take a shuttle, local bus, or walk to Feeblitz (about 10–15 minutes).
Accessibility, stroller, and safety
- Boarding with a step: limited access for wheelchairs; strollers can go up to the waiting area, to be left aside during the descent.
- Simple briefing, seat belts, brake control: you manage your speed. The team monitors and spaces out the sleds.
- Bring closed shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a light jacket: the air can be cool at altitude. Long hair should be tied back.
Educational little extras
- Confidence and autonomy: managing speed, daring a bit more on the second run.
- Spatial awareness and fine motor skills with the control.
- Curiosity about the mountain: observing the forest, listening to sounds, spotting the peaks.
Parents' tips
- Arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the line.
- Start with a "gentle" descent to get the hang of it, then speed up if everyone is comfortable.
- Bring water and a small snack; excitement makes you thirsty.
- Check the opening on the day itself: changing weather at altitude.
- Combine with an easy walk in the village or a game at the park to balance the day.
