Who has the skills?
“Sounds great, but what’s a Luge?” We’re glad you asked.
Part go kart, part toboggan.
Gravity fuelled, giving full rider control with its unique braking and steering system.
Pull back on the handle bars to slow or stop, release to accelerate and enjoy.
Great for any age. Children over 85cm tall and 2 years of age can even ride with an adult.
So awesome that it’s impossible to just have one ride.
" The Gondola ride is great; certainly one of the steeper ones I've been on. The views are spectacular. The Luge, a sort of gravity powered go-kart, is hugely enjoyable and popular. We bought the 3 ride ticket, which I think is the minimum for a really good experience. "
