Luge Safety

How to Luge

Our purpose-built Luge carts provide the rider with full control over their speed and direction using a unique braking and steering system. It's simple to use, just pull back on the handlebars to slow down or stop and release the handlebars slightly to accelerate. Our Luge instructors give you a full briefing on how to Luge before your first ride.

Skyline Luge Mont-Tremblant Code of Conduct

Luging involves sudden accelerating and braking through downhill bends, tunnels and dips. To ride you must be in good physical health and a sound mental state.

Please also be aware of the Chairlift safety guidelines demonstrated in our Chairlift Code of Conduct on-site.

Unfortunately, pregnant mothers are not allowed to ride.
