Sledding is great fun for young and old alike, and it hasn't just been that way since yesterday. This winter leisure activity has a long history and tradition. In the form we know it today, sledding on snow has been known since the 19th century. The Davos sled has been around for almost as long. We'll explain what's special about this traditional wooden winter sports device, and that a Davos sled is anything but dusty.
The original Davos sledge is a piece of Swiss tradition and has been produced for over 150 years. Even though technical improvements have been made to the structure and runners, the design has remained true to the original model in many areas. Regardless of whether you want to take a leisurely ride with your family or speed down the sledge run alone, a wooden sledge from Davos is always the best choice.

Who is a Davos sleigh suitable for?
The original Davos sledge is characterized by features such as:
robustness
Handiness
simplicity
This makes the wooden sledges from 3R absolute design icons . Like no other product, they embody the winter sports history of many generations and Swiss tradition. Thanks to its good-natured characteristics, the Davoser is the perfect family sledge . It is suitable for transporting children or luggage on a winter outing with the family. With an additional backrest, even the smallest babies can enjoy a ride on the sledge. You can also use the sledge for a descent with your child, or several children together, depending on their size. In the interests of honesty, however, it should be mentioned that a Davoser sledge is not a racing bobsleigh or a sports toboggan . But then, too fast descents into the valley in the snow are not everyone's cup of tea.
The right size for your sled
The Davos sledge is available in various lengths from 80 to 130 cm . Shorter wooden sledges with a length of 80 or 90 cm are suitable for one person. On a 100 cm model you will find enough space alone or together with your child. The Davos sledge with a length of 110 to 120 cm is suitable for up to two adults. The even larger 130 cm Davos sledge is ideal for pulling several children and for family rides.
The right care for your wooden sledge
A high-quality wooden sled hardly requires any special care. However, you should protect the runners from rust with wax. So apply paste or liquid wax to the runners after sledding. This will protect your sled well until the next descent.
Original Davos sledge – inexpensive in the truest sense of the word
With the original Davos sledge, we offer you a particularly high-quality and traditional sledge that is the result of the highest level of craftsmanship. This quality comes at a price and of course we know that there are cheaper sledges. However, we are convinced that the Davos sledge is worth its price .
