Overall Rating
Excellent
Take the cable-car up to Pfingstegg, then walk up the slope for fifty meters. While you may need a little assistance getting on and off, this is a brilliant toboggan run. You sit on a plastic trolley with a handle you pull back to brake or push forward to go. I just pushed it forward the whole time and leaned into the corners as though on a bike. The run twists and turns down the hillside for about 3 minutes and when you get to the bottom a rope tow tows you back to the top, ready for another go! One of the best adrenalin rushes a wheelchair user can have :) And then to end your visit, they sell the best icetea on the terrace overlooking the beautiful Swiss alps.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
The whole thing was disabled friendly so no extra signage needed. One step up into the cable-car station at the bottom.
Parking & Transport
Good
Parking is fine but there is a step into the ccable-car station at the bottom only. There is plenty of space in the cable-car for a wheelchair.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Loos were easy to find at the top station
Staff
Good
Waitresses very attentive without being too much
