In the valley, dedicated landing fields like Bodmi and Grund accommodate free-flying enthusiasts. The Pfingstegg station features a 725-meter summer toboggan run with a 58-meter vertical descent. For lower-impact activity, the Aspi area provides a 9-hole golf course situated directly beneath the Eiger North Face.
