Alpyland is an “amusement park” above Mottarone, an hour and a half from Milan. It is a 1,200-meter-long track on rails and boasts amazing views of the surrounding Alps, lands and seven lakes. What an incredible adventure it must be. Perfect for an outing or a different outdoor activity to experience with family or friends. There are no age limits (for children the limit is being at least 3 feet tall and over 4 years old).
Easily accessible from Milan there are places really worth going to, from the garden of wonders, to the path of infinity, alpaca walks, farmhouse aperitifs or medieval villages all to be discovered. These are just some of the beautiful and worthwhile things you can arrange to spend quality time.
Alpyland is another must-see destination on your itinerary if you decide to take a tour. Now that the days are getting longer, it is definitely something unique.
What can be found at Alpyland
As we said, Alpyland is a 1,200-meter-long track on rails above Mottarone that allows you to ride a bobsled on rails down the mountain at the speed you want to admire the spectacle of the surrounding nature. On the park’s website it says similar to a roller coaster, the track features curves, bumps, changes in gradient and a 100-meter drop. Very adrenaline-pumping as an experience.
But Alpyland is keen to point out that the toboggan is manual and it is the passenger who decides how fast to go, whether to hurtle at full speed or go down the mountain in a more quiet and relaxed manner. Also, in case one person does not feel up to facing the descent alone, the toboggans are two-seater. So that even the least daredevil can avail himself of someone’s company and calm down a bit.
