This route could also be called the "Bond Run", after all you toboggan here on the tracks of the famous British secret agent.

A part of the James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was shot in 1969 on today's bobsleigh run. But you don't have to fear any villains chasing you here; you can peacefully enjoy tobogganing amidst the beautiful mountain scenery. The toboggan fun starts at the upper station of the Allmendhubel funicular, which starts right in Mürren. The route to the start can alternatively be walked. After enjoying the panorama, the toboggan run descends steadily through the Blumental and snowy forests back to the village at the lower station of the Allmendhubelbahn. A unique experience suitable for young and old.
