The hair-raising Jais Sledder is the region’s longest toboggan ride. You’ll get to enjoy some stunning mountain views on your rapid descent, which takes a total of eight minutes. Unlike bobsledding experiences in other parts of the world, this one features much more sand than snow.

As riders hurtle across the track, they will be taken through exhilarating hairpin curves along the way, reaching speeds of up to 40 kilometres per hour.
