This alpine coaster was a fun surprise since it doesn't look like much as you approach, since it's mostly hidden in the forest. So you just hear screams of delight as people race down, but can't see most of the action until you're on it yourself.

The 900-meter-long run features crazy jumps and notorious "jump bends" that will give you an adrenaline rush.

• Length: 900m

• Style: double rail track

• Cost: CHF 7.50, discount for children

• Location: Saas Fee in Valais region - see on map

• Website: www.feeblitz.ch

It was super exciting and I would have happily ridden it several more times if I had an unlimited budget. So after two rides, we settled for a round of mini golf next door.  

It's the only coaster/slide anywhere near Zermatt. So if you are only visiting this region and a coaster is important, plan a day trip to Saas Fee and do one of the hikes in the region.

It's also one of the few coasters open in winter.

See my Saas Fee post for ideas.
