"Rutschpark" Trübsee is a free sledding hill in the Titlis Engelberg ski resort.

They provide tubes and sleds for free to ride down the short but exciting hill. Then there's a covered magic carpet that brings you back to the top – hooray! There is a restaurant directly above the sledding park so you can easily warm up when necessary.

Location: top of Engelberg-Trübsee gondola - Gerschnistrasse 12, 6390 Engelberg

Open: usually Dec to April. Check status.

Cost: To reach the snow park, you have to pay for a gondola ticket from Engelberg to Trübsee (kids under 6 free). But once at Trübsee, the sledding park is free to use.

Since Trübsee is at 1760m, it tends to be more snow-sure throughout winter season that other sledding areas.

The views are spectacular and you have the opportunity for more activities besides sledding, including a winter walk around the frozen lake (details here) and riding up to the Titlis glacier to visit the ice cave and walk across the suspension bridge (details here).

This sledding park is a great choice if part of the family is skiing, while one parent needs to entertain a smaller child with the sledding and snow play.
