The experience

Grindelwald's Bodmi Arena is built around one simple loop: up on the magic carpet, down on your sled. You arrive at the arena, grab your sled from the ticket office at the entrance, and you're ready to go. The magic carpet does the climbing for you: no poles, no technique, just stand on the moving belt and let it carry you up the slope. Then you sled down the dedicated run next to it and walk back to do it again. The whole setup is designed so families can move at their own pace without any fuss.

The slope is gentle enough that sledding requires no prior winter sport experience, and the magic carpet means even small children can ride up without exhaustion. Kids from age 2 can come along on an adult's lap. If you want to stay longer, Wednesday and Thursday evenings open the arena for night sledding, so you can keep going after dark. Parking is steps away, and the nearest bus stop is close by, so getting there and leaving your car is straightforward.

You can book online in advance or simply show up and buy tickets at the entrance. There's no preparation needed and no equipment to figure out. Bring warm clothes and plan for however long you want to stay. An hour gives you plenty of runs, but families often linger longer. The deck chairs nearby let adults settle in while kids play, turning an afternoon into something relaxed rather than rushed.
