Tobogganing Park in Leysin: the snow tubing park
Do your children dream of racing down icy channels seated in a big tube? At the Tobogganing Park in Leysin, snow tubing takes place on runs designed each winter by a bobsleigh champion. Thrills guaranteed for the whole family, from age 5.
The home of snow tubing in the Vaud Alps
The Tobogganing Park in Leysin is a one-of-a-kind park: here you slide not on a rail toboggan, but seated in a big tube that races down icy channels. This is what's known as snow tubing. The runs are shaped each winter by Silvio Giobellina, an Olympic medallist and bobsleigh world champion, which makes it a playground that's as safe as it is exhilarating. Depending on the season, the park has 4 to 11 icy channels of 100 to 300 metres, including one with a 360-degree bend. It's the ultimate winter activity in Leysin, with a short summer season on preserved snow.
What your children will discover
Snow tubing is accessible from age 5: you settle into your tube, provided on site, and let yourself slide down the channels. The youngest (from around 18 months to 4 years) have their own mini-park, with easy slopes to discover under a parent's supervision. For older children and thrill-seekers, the park offers a Big AirBag (a jump onto a giant cushion, from 140 cm, helmet mandatory) and a Looping (a descent with a loop, from 160 cm or 16 years, helmet mandatory).
What you'll do and the atmosphere on site
The atmosphere is festive and very family-friendly. You ride back up the channels effortlessly, string together tube runs and laugh a lot. The tubes are provided, which simplifies the logistics. Free shuttles link the park to the gondola, and the thrills range from gentle sliding for the little ones to spectacular jumps for the boldest. A helmet is mandatory for the Big AirBag and the Looping.
