You must be over 85cm to ride the Chairlift, be able to walk unassisted and be able to follow instruction from staff.

However, guests need to be aware of and comply with the 'Alpine Responsibility Code - Clause 10' when boarding the chairlift: “You must have sufficient physical dexterity, ability and knowledge to safely load, ride and unload lifts. If in doubt, ask the lift attendant.”

Our purpose-built karts are gravity-fueled and the rider has full control over speed and direction using a unique braking and steering system, so the speed depends on you!
