Alpyland: An Experience You Should Try at Least Once
Located at the summit of Mottarone — more than 1,400 meters above sea level — Alpyland is more than just a thrill ride. It’s a whole new way to experience the mountains: dynamic, fun, and suitable for all ages. This panoramic rail toboggan features twisting curves and adrenaline-filled descents, all set against one of the most stunning backdrops in northern Italy. From the top, you get an unforgettable 360° view over Lake Maggiore, Lake Orta, Monte Rosa, and the Alps all the way to the Po Valley.
What makes Alpyland even more special is that you control the speed. With a manual brake system, you can slow down or speed up to match your comfort level — making it perfect for families with kids, couples looking for a shared adventure, or friends in search of a fun, safe challenge.
But Alpyland isn’t only about adrenaline: it’s also fresh mountain air, dense woods, and peaceful alpine silence. In summer, the lush greenery of Mottarone surrounds your descent; in winter, the snowy track winds through a fairy-tale landscape. Whatever the season, it’s a place where movement, nature, and joy come together.
And after a day full of laughter, breathtaking views, and just the right amount of thrill — what could be better than unwinding in a peaceful, welcoming place? Somewhere surrounded by trees, with a view of the lake or forest, where you can truly breathe and savor the day. Choosing the right stay near Alpyland can turn a day trip into a memory you’ll cherish.
