Each experience is conducted on the official Olympic track and includes expert instruction, safety briefings, and supervised runs. Passenger Bobsleigh guests ride with a trained pilot at speeds exceeding 125 km/h. Public Skeleton participants complete two solo runs reaching speeds up to 100 km/h. Discover Bobsleigh teaches participants to pilot a sled with professional coaching, navigating thirteen curves at speeds up to 115 km/h.
