Bobbaan
The Bobbaan (Schweizer Bobbahn in German) is in the Switzerland themed area. Since 1985 you've been able to race through an ice channel here in a bobsleigh, without the car being fixed to rails.
The concept
A bobsleigh run works differently from a regular rollercoaster: the bob runs freely through a trough and finds its own way through the bends. After a lift hill of just over 20 metres, down you go. A train consists of linked bobs for 12 people.
The Experience
You reach speeds of up to 50 km/h, with forces of up to 3 g. Because the bob slides freely through the trough, you really feel every bend. Straight after the start you shoot through a chalet. The ride lasts about two minutes.

Heads down
Straight after the start the bob passes through a chalet. As the park itself puts it: heads in.
Ride together
The bobs seat two people per row. Great fun to do together with your child.
For Emil fans
Next to the track stands the Emil Hüüsli. Look out of its window as the bob races past and you'll hear the voice of Swiss comedian Emil.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.20 metres tall. Between 1.20 metres and 1.30 metres you ride accompanied by an adult; from 1.30 metres you may ride alone. The minimum age is 6; children under 8 must be accompanied. The ride is not permitted for pregnant women.
A true classic
The Bobbaan is one of the park's older rollercoasters and is still popular. Combine the ride with the Matterhorn-Blitz in the same themed area.
