amazing fun

We loved the whole experience and would highly recommend it. We were a party of 3 teenagers and Mum and it was great for all of us. The journey up the mountain was beautiful, and the karting was very well organised. The runs were literally the length of ski runs and there were 3 to choose from which were all great. So much fun and we would all love to return to try the Mountain Biking:)

Great morning adventure

After a really picturesque bus ride to Cardrona and fun 2 hours carting. If you go off the track it's not too painful either. Good BBQ and coffee available there too.
