The Davos sledge is in a way the original among sledges. The wooden construction is what makes it so special. The necessary stability is provided by a tow bar that connects the two iron-clad runners. A cord is usually attached to this iron bar, which can be used to pull the sledge through deep snow. And the word "DAVOS" is burned into the middle wooden slat in capital letters. The history of the world-famous Davos sledge began in the 19th century. Carpenters from Davos further developed the Norwegian sledges. The sledge got its name from the first, historic sledge race in Davos in 1883. Even then, daredevil pilots were racing down the snowy road from Davos-Wolfgang to Klosters on Davos sledges.
