Renting a toboggan at La Schlucht is the promise of a simple, joyful moment in the heart of the Vosges mountains. At an altitude of 1,139 m, the pass's ridges, fir forests and crisp air provide the perfect backdrop for sliding with family and friends, against a backdrop of superb views towards Alsace.

Renting a toboggan on site means you can travel light and enjoy the small slopes around the pass, which are often groomed and signposted when snow conditions are good. Children love the gentle areas near the parking lots, while older children enjoy longer runs on the undulating meadows. Respect dedicated areas, keep your distance and avoid ridge cornices: safety first.

The weather changes quickly at altitude. The best times to slide are often in the morning, when the snow is firmer, or just after a fresh fall. In the event of strong winds or thawing temperatures, opt for sheltered areas on the edge of the forest. Before setting off, check the forecast and road conditions: winter tires are essential, chains are sometimes useful, and the pass parking lot fills up early on weekends.

On the practical side, opt for layered warm clothing, waterproof pants, gloves, goggles or face mask, not forgetting sun cream. Helmets are highly recommended for children. Slip a hot drink and a snack into the bag; the break facing the peaks is a real pleasure. For a successful stay, renting a toboggan at La Schlucht is the easiest way to make the most of the Vosges winter.
