Pradaschier Mountain Coaster – Churwalden

This is the longest rail-guided alpine coaster in Switzerland — over 3 km of pure, fast, laugh-until-you-cry fun. You control your speed, but it can hit 40 km/hr, so I braked a bit more than I thought I would! My toddler rode on my lap while my older boys never braked and were thrilled.

🚗 How to Get There:
By bus 🚍: PostBus → “Churwalden, Bergbahnen” (2 min walk).
By car 🚙: Easy paid parking at the base station.
Generally runs in light rain, but can close for storms or heavy weather. Check the live status on their website before you go.

✨ Pro Tips:
Ride once together so younger kids learn the brakes.
Go early for the 2-for-1 deal and minimal queues.

There's a free fun kid area with a marble track and mini train tracks to play on near the lift station!
Pair it with a stop in Chur, Flims/Laax, or Lenzerheide if you’re already nearby.
