Magnificent views across Lake Zurich and the Ricken all the way to Pilatus await Tobogganists at Atzmännig. This should be enjoyed first – because the downhill ride gets quite twisty, leading through forests, across meadows and over a few rollers.

Racy sledging fun at the foot of the Grosser Mythen: the run leads from the top station of the Rotenflue cable car to the middle station Rätigs.
