What is the Alpine Coaster toboggan?

 

If you love sledging in the winter, you can also go sledging in the summer!

 

The Alpine Coaster toboggan in Chamonix is an activity that can be enjoyed in winter as well as in summer and which appeals to young and old alike.

Whether you are a thrill-seeker, a child who loves rides, or looking for an activity after long days of skiing or hiking, summer tobogganing is for you!

The advantage of this attraction is that it suits all tastes. Indeed, it is possible to adjust its speed, so that no one is left behind.

 

This attraction is a downhill ride on a toboggan attached to rails. This roller coaster in the heart of the Planards resort is 1,300 metres long and features sharp turns, jumps, waves and even 540° twists.

 

The Alpine Coaster toboggan was opened in 2011, replacing the old summer toboggan and is located in the centre of Chamonix. It offers a thrill or a leisurely ride on the mountain, depending on your taste, as the speed can be adjusted with a lever that acts as a brake.

 

The advantages of this summer luge are that it is open all year round, in summer and winter. It is accessible from the age of 3, accompanied by an adult or alone from the age of 8. It is possible to go up alone, with two children or even with two adults. This attraction is of course completely safe, whatever the weather.
