The longest rail-guided alpine coaster in Switzerland is the Pradaschier coaster in Churwalden, near Davos. It's over 3 km long reaching speeds up to 40 km/hr.

It's so fast and furious that I'm always terrified I'll fly off the track (though not possible as the sled is connected) and use the brakes more than I normally do. 

• Stats: 3060m long, 480m descent, 31 curves

They also have a long zip line here if you want double the excitement.

This is possible as a day trip from Zurich, but better if you are staying in Lenzerheide, Chur or Flims Laax.
