  • Toboggan run (The longest in Switzerland!)

31 curves, over three kilometres in length and 480 metres in altitude. No one comes down the longest toboggan run of Switzerland without emotions! Prices are listed on this website.

  • Après-ski & drinks in Valbella

Insurance & Disclaimer

Skiing and snowboarding are notorious for their accidents. Most of our IAESTE trainees only have basic health insurance and are not well covered for rescue missions in the mountains. Therefore, IAESTE recommends you become a patron at the Rega non-profit organization. The price is only 40 CHF for world round repatriation insurance which is basically for free with respect to the full cost of helicopter rescue in the Swiss alps!

 

By choosing to participate in any winter sports activities, you acknowledge and assume all associated risks. You agree to release IAESTE and its organizers from any liability for accidents, injuries, or losses that may occur during these activities. It is your sole responsibility to ensure your personal safety and well-being. We encourage you to make informed decisions and take necessary precautions to mitigate potential risks.
