Matterhorn Bobsleds Left

Length
2,037 ft
The journey begins with a mechanical climb into the heart of the peak, where the air grows cold and the echoes of the track resonate against the rock. Once released from the lift, the bobsleds navigate a series of tight, jerky maneuvers through dark tunnels and frozen grottos. The track winds precariously around the mountain’s exterior, offering brief glimpses of the surrounding scenery before plunging back into the shadows. Every turn feels raw and unpredictable as the sleds skitter toward the base, eventually hitting the water for a smooth, decelerating finish.
