Stresa, Tomassucci Travel Days Out: Mottarone Alpyland Alpine Coaster

Mottarone Alpyland Alpine Coaster

Alpyland is the newest attraction in Stresa. It is an alpine coaster which starts at the very summit of Mount Mottarone.

The 750 metres of track twist and turn through parabolic curves with a descent of 100 metres to the top station of the Mottarone Cable Car / the bottom station of the Mottarone chair lift. You have control of the breaks and can reach speeds of up to 40kph.

Each bob takes two people or you can ride alone. The track is open nearly all year round so you can enjoy the thrill in summer or in the snow!
