The Alps aren’t beautiful only in the winter. Come summer, when skiing takes a back seat, another attraction becomes the centre of attention with travellers.

Rather than climbing or riding a ski lift down the mountain, visitors are choosing an alternative transport that will get your heart racing: Alpine coasters. The path twists and turns all the way down, bringing you up-close to the dramatic mountain views – that is, if you can keep your eyes openSlip and slide
There are a number of resorts offering such dry toboggan runs across the Swiss Alps, and they can be split into two types: Slides and rail coasters. The former guides riders down a metal half-tube, while the latter operates like a single-vehicle rollercoaster.

Reportedly the world’s highest-lying coaster is Glacier 3000’s Alpine Coaster, located at an altitude of 3,000m at the Diablerets of western Switzerland. Here, you can speed down a thrilling 1km-long ride of steep curves, waves, jumps and a 520° circle, at up to 40km per hour.

Riders can determine their speed with a brake lever and ride the toboggan run multiple times
