Great ride. Two separate tracks are available so you can race with each other. Tried both tracks and prefer the track on the right. The price list is a bit complicated but we managed to get 6 rides for 30 euro.

Very good place to have a big fun on the sledge course or hiking in the mountains. Chair lift takes you up - we were very glad of this in the hot summer. You have a chance to rush on sledge, or on top of mountain a hutte is waiting for the thirsty people. Down there is a leisure park for the kids, also funny.
What a great place. It combines a different type of roller coaster with a beautiful hiking trail and mich more. The roller coaster is unlike any I have ever seen, instead of using rails like trains, this roller coaster uses a small metal half pipe inside which you ride a sled. This sled has a handbrake in the middle which make this seemingly unsafe ride alot of fun. Going too fast? You can brake. Going too slow? Just disengage the brakes. It really is a great ride. As for the hiking, it is just like any hiking trail on the alps but it is not completely surrounded by trees.
Great place good fun, winter and summer.
Excellent place for having fun with the whole family.
We liked it, nothing spectacular but we still enjoyed it.
Location wise, you can't go wrong. However be aware when purchasing their passes for their toboggan. \Why make things simple when it can be complicated\ seems to be their philosophy and we got caught out. We bought a 6 points block which gives you theoretically 6 cable car rides up plus the corresponding toboggan run down. Mind you, this means only to the middle station. We made the unforgiving mistake of feeling hungry and decided to ride all the way to the peak as there was a restaurant up there. Thereafter, we walked down from the peak to the middle station (as otherwise we would have to use another point on block to take the cable car down to the middle station) assuming that we could ride down on the toboggan down. Imagine our surprise upon arriving at the middle station and being informed that we had to nick off another point even though we had already had one point validated on the original ride up. Apparently, it seems that going all the way up to the peak costs you 2 points, regardless of whether you walk down to the middle station or not. Long story short, this information is indeed stated, but in their small print. Incidentally, when I tried to ask for a clarification, the neanderthal at the middle station could only grunt and demand that if we wanted to ride down, it was going to cost us a point each. Considering that his shoulders were built like a bus, I decided to simmer in my own frustration. In summary, and don't get me wrong, the ride itself was great, the view was fantastic, and if the weather plays along (like it did for us), it's nice family day out in the mountains. My peeve is as usual with the utter lack of customer friendliness within this part of Germanic Europe. Topic of culture and nothing I can do about it. Get your point system straight and you'll have fun.
Nice place to go with children!
