The funicular takes sledders from Titlis valley station quickly to the start of the sledding run at Gerschnialp. Once at the top, you grab a fast sled, which can be rented together with the purchase of the train ticket at the bottom station, or you use your own sled. Who has the best technique and manages to get down the fastest? The 3.5-kilometer-long sledding trail leads through the snowy Gerschniwald in long curves back to the starting point at Titlis valley station. The sliding fun with so much mountain air works up an appetite. The Restaurant Linie 8 directly at the valley station provides relief. Fancy Indian food? The snack bar next to the cable car exit transports you to another world. Refreshed, you tackle the next descent. The day sledding ticket offers sledding fun until the last mountain ride of the funicular and also includes a return trip to the Trübsee station.
