From grandkids to grandparents - the Skyline Luge is fun filled gravity ride for all ages and abilities! Choose from two tracks, one scenic and gentle, the other advanced and adventurous. 

  • The Scenic track is a leisurely ride with gentle gradient, easy bends and dips with several rest areas giving riders plenty of opportunity to stop and take great photographs and enjoy panoramic views.
  • The Advanced track has a steeper gradient and is a more adventurous ride with the thrill of banked corners, a tunnel, dips and hollows.

Situated behind the Skyline complex, the Luge tracks wind 800 metres down through the trees, with spectacular views of Queenstown & The Remarkables, to finish beside the main complex. 

The two-seater chairlift takes riders and luge carts back to the top to do it all again, because once is never enough!

It's safe too. You're in full control! A unique braking and steering system on your three-wheeled luge cart means you can alter course and speed at will. Go fast, go slow, stop to take photos, you decide. 

A walking track also accesses the top of the luge with overhead bridges the perfect spot to watch or take photos of friends and family flying past. Or take the chairlift for an aerial view, then walk down, the choice is yours.
