Mountain Descent
High in the mountains above Oberammergau lies adventure for the whole family. First, you’ll hop a ride on a two-person chair lift to an elevation of 4,166 feet. You’ll have time to enjoy snacks or lunch at the nearby mountain lodge, and kids can also explore the Mountain Adventure Playground. Getting back down brings the fun part. You’ll have the option of riding the lift down, which is one way to do it. Or, you could also cruise along an 8,500-foot long Alpine coaster. You may reach speeds up to 25 miles per hour, but you’ll have a hand brake to control your own speed.

• A modern magnetic brake system
• Break levers on both sides of the cart
• User-regulated speed up to 25mph
