In brief:

  • Where is the Pradaschier toboggan run?

The longest toboggan run in Switzerland is located in Churwalden, between Chur and Lenzerheide. Only 15 minutes drive from the international EHL Campus Passugg.

  • How do I get there?

From Chur, take the post bus in the direction of Lenzerheide and get off at the stop "Churwalden, Bergbahnen". If you want to come by car, you can park right next to the bus stop in the large car park of the mountain railway station. To the right of the station is the stop "Erlebnisberg Pradaschier", from where you can take a chairlift to Alp Pradaschier.

  • How long will the trip to the toboggan run take?

Much depends on how often you want to toboggan. You can spend 2 hours or even half a day in Pradaschier. From December to April and then from May to October, you can enjoy spectacular views and a delicious meal or a warm drink at the Restaurant Portal at the Churwalden Bergbahn station. 

Roller coaster in the mountains
