any alpine slides or luge rides...

Are there any of these sitting on a sled-like thing while going down a hill on a track rides near Chamonix or in the Saint Moritz region?

In Chamonix, there is a summer slide on the "planards" slope. 2 tracks are available (a "turtle" and a "hare" one)

Hi deladeb,

Here's a link to information about sledding near St. Moritz:

I found this 2 year old post from Schuler, but I don't think these are near the St Moritz/Engadin region...but in case anyone else needs this info...

"Between Zürich and Lucerne, you'll find a luge ride (rodeln) on Mostelberg (Hoch Stückli) above Sattel. There's a very fast and long ride in Unterybrig.

Another one between Lucerne and Engelberg is in Dallenwill/Wirzwelli. And, of course, there is a ride in Engelberg as well."

The longest summer alpine slide in the world (as they advertise themselves) can be found in Churwalden, just below Lenzerheide.
