Alpine Slide at Ober
Gatlinburg
A great idea for
vacationing in Gatlinburg can be spent with your family
or friends on the Alpine
Slide at Ober Gatlinburg! A very popular thing to do in
Gatlinburg TN, the Alpine Slide is something
you need to do and most likely will never forget. Imagine bobsledding, but without
the ice, snow, and cold. Remember the movie Cool Runnings? Well, that is almost exactly what it is like:
the Jamaican bobsled team traveling down the hillside in
the warm, comfortable weather. The only difference is
that you won’t be able to ride with a partner due to
safety regulations and you are not in the Olympics...you
are in Gatlinburg Tennessee.
You will be so
excited after you reach the bottom of the hill that you
will want to go back up and do it again. The price is
very inexpensive, so bring your whole family along with
you. The ride combines a Scenic Chairlift ride up the
mountain with a fun-filled weaving, wandering dipping
descent on one of two 1800' tracks through woods and ski
trails. What’s more exciting than that? You can even
control your own speed with a braking device on each
sled. If you’re gun hoe for speed, then don’t touch the
brake on the way down. If you’re a little more careful,
take the turns with a light touch of the brake to ensure
your comfort and safety.
Accelerate or slow
down as you ride down the mountain through curves,
straight-aways, and hairpin turns into the valley. No
special skills or clothing are needed. It’s only $5.00
per person to go down the Alpine Slide. Ages 6 and under
are free but must ride with a ticketed adult age 18 or
older. So, bring the family along to enjoy the sights,
heights, and speed down the hillside of the Smoky
Mountains. It’s something you shouldn’t miss while in
Gatlinburg TN.
