Complete blast of an attraction, located right at the top station of the Oeschinensee Gondola…read more It's a modest-sized alpine coaster track carved into the mountainside, with unbelievably gorgeous views and a touch of reckless danger. You get towed up to the top aboard a one-person (I think you can squeeze a small child in front of a parent) plastic sled, armed only with a brake lever and your wits.
