The longest toboggan run in Europe (or the world?) Faulhorn-Bussalp-Grindelwald. Switzerland

We took the gondola up the mountain and then there is a long walk to the starting point of the toboggan run. It took us 2h to walk up and 1h to slide down! I wish my camera had not died right in the first 5 min going down...

The run is 15 kilometers long with a vertical drop of 1,600 meters. With the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau for a backdrop, the setting is spectacular, too!

My legs were soooo bruised after the bumpy run!

I have to keep watching my video on repeat.. it was so awesome and scary! It was the first day feeling better after being so sick in bed I could barely walk the days before..I had been sick for 2 weeks.. but I wanted to go soooooo badly before I went home (the next day) that I think the excitement sped up my recovery. I've been wanting to go here on this run for over 10 years now.. this was finally my chance and I was not going to let being sick get in my way!
I could barely sleep the night before because of the excitement.. the guys did not even want to go when we got up that morning..they said the weather looks like crap... but I was not going to take no for an answer.. I said the weather willlll get better! And it did a few hours later! I'm so happy we went!

I was told the one in Saariselska in Finland was the longest in Europe? Hmmm... Will have to double check now!
