Frakigaudi Summer Toboggan
The Frakigaudi Summer Toboggan is close to Lucerne and right next to the Pilatus Kulm.
This toboggan run has one of the best views of Lake Lucerne. It is one of the longest toboggan runs in Switzerland.
You can get there by taking a bus from Lucerne to Kriens and from Kriens, take the Pilatus gondola to Frakmuntegg intermediary station.
It is open daily in dry weather from April to mid-October, from 10 am to 5 pm. I do recommend arriving because they tend to close the toboggan run exactly at 5 pm.
One ride is priced at 9 Francs for adults and 5 to 7 Francs for kids, depending on the age.
Brunni Summer Toboggan
The Brunni Summer Toboggan is located in Engelberg of Brunni.
You can get there with a direct 45-minute train ride from Lucerne and then walk or take a free bus to the Brunni gondola.
It is open from early May to early November and typically closes between 4:30 & 5:30 pm in the afternoon, depending on the season.
It costs 5 Francs for one ride and becomes cheaper if you buy more tickets.
This is a great addition to a day trip to the Klettersteig mountain from Lucerne.

The Oeschinensee Rodelbahn is right next to the Oeschinensee Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland.
The Oeschinensee Rodelbahn is located near the gondola station coming from Kandersteg and 15 minutes away from the magnificent Oeschinensee Lake.

The toboggan run is open daily from mid-May to mid-October, from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. One ride costs 6 Francs.
I recommend going there to enjoy the beautiful Oeschinensee Lake and Oeschinensee Rodelbahn also.

It is actually the highest-situated toboggan run in the world. You will have views of the Diablerets Glacier and experience the peak walk after the coaster experience.
To get there, you can take a bus from Gstaad if you are in this beautiful valley or book on GetYourGuide, a bus transfer from Montreux.

This ride lasts from 5 to 7 minutes.
With this information, I recommend those of you who want to ride fast to take your time after the last rider left for any of these toboggan runs in order to maximize the amount of thrill time you’ll have.
This toboggan can be ridden in summer as well as winter. It’s open from December to early April and from early May to mid-October.
