Description
A high adrenalin weekend in Norway's Olympic capital
There can be few experiences that match the speed and excitement of bobsledding. There are three different methods of descending the famous ice-track; the 'bob-raft' takes 5 passengers and travels at speeds of 70-80 kmh. The 'taxi-bob' is the real Olympic bob, with 1 pilot and 3 passengers. Speeds can reach up to 120 kmh, with pressures of 5G round the final bends - there really is nothing like it! Finally there is the 'skeleton' - a one-man luge - you travel face down, nose inches from the ice. Friday (less busy than the weekends) is a full day at the ice track with a special programme of events including the bobsled. On Saturday we include a morning at the excellent toboggan piste, and a free afternoon at Hafjell, Lillehammer's local ski centre.
Profile
For adrenalin junkies, but anything can be opted out of if you change your mind at the last minute.
