Here is the list of the most beautiful toboggan run in Switzerland , some of the runs quoted here are among the most famous in Europe !
While browsing in Davos website I found out that Sledging was a very popular sport in Davos in the XIX Century , and it's there that a famous model of sledge was invented , the carpenters were inspired by the Norwegian ones and the very first sledge race took place in 1883.
