Family Reviews
The luge was an absolute hit with our 6 and 9 year olds — we did about six runs. The gondola views are stunning too.
Great fun but it adds up fast for a family of four. Buy a multi-ride pass and go in the afternoon to skip the crowds.
Our 5 year old needed to ride tandem on the luge which was perfect. Cafe at the top is handy for a break.
