WHAT SUITS YOU?
Sledge or toboggan?
3 designs, 3 riding feels: sledges are stable, calm and forgiving. Toboggans are steered by weight shift and steering strap and track more cleanly. Carving toboggans have the sportiest chassis and can be ridden at pace.
We only use high-quality models made of wood and aluminium – for your safety.

How to Sledge? Sledging & tobogganing done right
Safe sledging & tobogganing in Bergün
Everyone has been on a sledge at some point – but on a toboggan? Here you’ll find valuable tips and safety advice so that your sledging adventure stays a great memory.
Time to sledge!
How to do it right
- Sit up straight: Always sit upright – that gives you the best overview and full control.
- Brake like a pro: Place both feet beside the sledge and press them flat into the snow. For extra stopping power, lift the front of the sledge slightly – et voilà, the snow brakes for you!
- Cornering artist: Shift your weight into the curve, pull the steering strap on the inside runner and push with the outside foot on the outer runner.
These basics guarantee great fun and make you the hero of the toboggan run.

- Stop quickly: Lift the front of the sledge and keep your balance. The calmer you stay, the safer you come to a stop.
By the way: nothing fits better than a BERGÜNER. With a high-quality sledge from Mark Sport you don’t just have more fun – you also have better technique and safety.
Safety tips:
- Always wear warm clothing and sturdy shoes – gloves, helmet and goggles are your best friends.

- Never stop right after curves
- Dogs don't belong on the toboggan run; please leave your four-legged friends at home
Sledging accessories for your protection
Safety comes first!
If you’re out with children, at speed or in a team, you should pay particular attention to safety when sledging.
We recommend impact-proof helmets, sunglasses and sports gloves for adults and children – they provide protection, comfort and more fun on the run.
