Sledging in Switzerland – naturally in Goms, the mountain village

I am swerving with you. Ice makes me fast. Fresh snow slows me down. You can drag me or push me. You better practice how to steer me. Kids love me. Grown-ups are increasingly fond of me. Make sure you know how to control me. Yours truly, your sledge runners.

Sledging is the newest craze in winter sports regions. The mountain village Goms is no exception, of course. Whether you are cruising along at a comfortable pace or race down the slopes: No other winter sport unites young and old as sledging does.

Sledging gets your body moving in other ways that just walking. A sledge run and a winter hike are easily combinable. What is really fun is going for a night run. Install a headlamp, let winter flash by, and look forward to stop for a hot drink.
