The sledges

As soon as the first snow falls, chances are your children will ask you to go for a ride on the local hill. But before going down the neighbour's meadow, or the toboggan run, you will have to make sure you have a toboggan adapted to your needs. Moreover, sledging is not only for children; yes, these small machines, which are increasingly technical and resistant, were once used by the Vikings in the fjords; as well as by our Vosges loggers who used to descend the mountain woods with the schlitte, in other words, a wooden sleigh. The obvious proof that we've been reading for ages.

Today, sledges have lost their utility aspect, to the great delight of children, but also of parents who can enjoy the joys of skiing together. These are designed for one or two people with an increasingly original and comfortable design and colour with reinforced seats. If you still have doubts about safety, it is important to know that most of the new sled models have brakes that allow you to brake quickly but also to steer. The experience will not only be fun with 360-degree slides, but also reassuring.

To tame the steepest slopes, the TSL and Frendo sleds are designed to provide optimal gliding performance. The steering wheel and brakes have become essential to be easy to handle and have fun in complete safety. In addition, their light weight means that they do not run out when going up the slope, and thus have more fun for longer.

Whether you are reckless or more careful, whether you are looking for thrills or softer descents, the specialist brands Frendo and TSL have developed a wide range of sleds with traditional or more unusual models, to discover among our selection.

Have a nice downhill.

Remember not to over wax the sled.
