The Solarbob is a bobsled run south of Langenbruck. It is the world's first that is operated in a carbon-neutral manner. The whole site is powered by a photovoltaic system. And it's Europe's only run of this kind with a 540 degree turn.

A bob can be manned with one or two persons, then it is lifted up to the hill. You can control the speed of your car so you have to take care about the ones in front of you if they are slower. The ride is something over one kilometer, there are no exact data published. The duration of a ride is something about two minutes, depending on your speed.

The site also contains a large rope course, tickets are available for both parts separately or combined.
