The Oeschinensee lake and toboggan run

By Max Harcombe

We were all very surprised this morning, not an early start,well for some of us.
We departed the camp for the chair lift at around 11:30 arriving to the lift at 12,
but were puzzled to find that the chairlift went up sideways rather than forwards!
By the time all of us had arrived at the top,our stomachs were desperate for food
so we dived straight into our lunches. But that still wasn't time to go on the toboggan run.
We we had a group photo for our family's and friends back in England. After taking the
photo we all rushed to the toboggan run all eager to whizz down the 750m long run.



After using our two goes straight away we decided to spend our own money on having another
go on the run, which i thought was worth it!After all having an adrenaline rush on the
toboggan run,we slowly strolled to the Oeschinensee Lake which was an amazing sight!
Chris decided to say to us that we would get a badge if we swam in the freezing cold lake
but after half of us we in the lake he told us that we wouldn't get one ! :-(
But it was good fun !!



After some of us warmed ourselves up with an ice-cream, we slowly strolled back to the
town, trying to stop ourselves from running down the steep hill, we all got down safely.
When we got to the town there was no time to go back to the campsite, we had to go
straight to Des Alps restaurant to try some traditional Swiss Fondu.

And that was our last day of activities in Switzerland !
