The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

On a lovely sunny day I decided to give the Area Coaster a try. I was reassured by the large queue and that quite a few of the people waiting were fairly young. I got a ticket for one ride at £5.40 and joined the queue. The first thing that happens is that your car is dragged upwards what seems like forever until you reach the apogee and then let loose. Thereafter you can adjust your speed by pushing the controls forward or brake (hard) by pulling them back. The clue I found is not to get too close to the car in front and not to go through the curves to fast although this last suggestion may be due to the fact that I fell off the last toboggan run I tried elsewhere but that didn’t have a safety belt.
