Would love to choose sledding as a sport.

Hello,

is it possible to add sledding to the choice of sports? In the Alps more and more ski resorts have sledding runs and it is becoming a serious mass sport.

Cheers, Downhilli.

Tobogganing is not just a children's activity. It is one of the oldest sports in the Alps. In the meantime, more and more toboggan runs are being laid out. And it's becoming a popular sport. Both the climbs and the descents are interesting. Comparable to mountain biking or ski touring. Please give it a 👍

You can spot sled runs in almost every ski resort in Switzerland, where it is called schlitten, plus many places that are exclusive for sledders. In Austria, where is called rodeln, they have also a lo lot of tradition and many tracks. In French alps it is called luge. The activity is getting more and more traction with initiatives like the Light Ride Lenzerheide, where they combine time tracking with gamification to make the experience even funnier. The light ride was sold out for many days in a row, with a limit of 500 sledders. I created a couple of segments to track the timing, but it is also populated by skiers.

Please, add this activity to Strava!

Great - sledding and dog sledding should become activities.
