“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. Small 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.
" We made the mistake of only purchasing the Gondola and 3 luge rides. We went back and purchased another 3 rides each! So. Much. Fun! "

Frequently Asked Questions:
Children must be at least 110cm high and 6+ years old to be allowed to ride the Luge alone; if they are between 85cm – 109cm in height and 2-6years of age they can ride the Luge in tandem with a responsible person for an additional cost.
- Riders who are between 85cm-109cm and 2-6 years of age will need to ride in tandem with an adult. A tandem rider must ride on the Luge with a responsible person over 150cm tall and 15+ years old. It is the responsibility of the ‘responsible person’ to ride in a slow and safe manner, avoiding sharp braking to minimise the risk of injury to the tandem rider.
- Riders who are over 110cm and 6+ years old can ride the Luge tracks unaccompanied but will need to ride the chairlift with a responsible person over 150cm tall and 15+ years.
- Riders 120cm tall and 7+ years old can ride the Luge and ride the chairlift alone.
