Mountain Coasters (Summer Luge)

Mountain coasters (or luge/sledge/toboggan) are where you can control your own sled on rails at your own pace. This is done by managing the braking yourself, therefore controlling your speed in complete safety. Eight of our resorts that we feature in Summer offer this fun-filled activity, suitable for children and adults!
