Weissensteiner-sled

from 3R ORIGINAL DAVOSER

The Limited Edition. A product from the category: They still exist, the good things that you will gladly pass on to future generations.

Variants

• Light ash / natural leather, series number 02 Sled number 01 - 99
• Dark ash / black leather, series number 03 slide number 01 - 99

The slats are hung with leather. This creates a comfortable seat that adapts to the body. In addition, the steerability is much better than with a traditional rigid sled. Fantastically beautiful workmanship in all details. Noble saddler’s work in natural leather combined with the solid, steam-bent ash wood from our wainwright’s workshop. It’s high craftsmanship on runners.

This sled was designed by the Solothurn architect Guido Kummer. The elaborately curved legs are based on the formal language of the Weissenstein railway stations he created. This sledge can be considered as part of a total work of art.

A work of art from: Landscape, architecture, product design and craftsmanship – “its’ magic”. What a declaration of love from a Solothurn man to his town and its local mountain. This mountain and its track simply deserve the best of all toboggan models. We at 3R are grateful and proud to be part of this great project.

Production and material

The production of sledges and toboggans is based on our core competence, the bending of wood. Since 1930 we have been producing the well-known sledges in Sulgen with selected Swiss ash wood. We use the raw material wood as renewable energy source. Our steam generator for the bending shop as well as the heating for the company building and the neighbouring property are exclusively supplied with energy by a modern wood heating system. Even today, 3R ORIGINAL DAVOSER uses only ash from FSC-certified forests in Eastern Switzerland for the sleds, and we are very proud of this.

Due to the high quality of the choice of wood and the processing, the sled will accompany you for a lifetime. Because our sleds are made of the best Swiss ash wood. Due to the wide steel runners, the gliding ability and the fun of driving is guaranteed. The wood is varnished with a special lacquer which protects the surface from water and dirt.
