Swiss Traditions | Sleigh Dating in the Engadin – Schlitteda | Switzerland Tourism
Immerse yourself in a winter fairy tale full of warmth, history, and community! ❄️🛷
The Schlitteda – a traditional Upper Engadine winter custom that is much more than just a sleigh ride. Experience the tradition through the eyes of five locals who share what this custom means to them today: a deep sense of togetherness, a connection to their roots, and the simple joy of spending a winter day side by side.
What once began as a romantic tradition, where young men and women found each other on sleighs, has transformed over the decades. Despite a changed purpose and the challenges of our time, the Engadine people's desire to preserve this heritage remains strong. What remains is a moment full of beauty, warmth, and a shared experience that remains something very special for many.
