While skiing at Rinerhorn last weekend, I glanced down from the gondola and noticed a curvy toboggan run (Schlittelbahn) on the side of the mountain. The ski slopes beaconed and I passed on the chance to rent a toboggan. Of course, its always possible to experience these sorts of things second-hand on the internet. Someone has taken their digital camera along for the ride and posted the resulting video on Youtube. A little further research reveals that Davos not only is birthplace to its own toboggan model, the Davoser Schlitten, but also claims to have held the world’s first toboggan race back in 1883. Perhaps I should have tossed the skis for a toboggan after all.
