DOWNHILL CARS
At Flottsbro we get up to go down. That’s how we do it, regardless of the weather. This can apply to skiing, mountain biking or for that matter lead-heavy workouts. Now there is a new variant — Flottsbro Downhill Cars.
Down the hill – in a different way!
Flottsbro Downhill Cars – the perfect activity for a day with a group of friends or work colleagues.
With the help of the lift, you can climb the slope of the hill — then it’s up to you — a fast-paced adventure or a beautiful nature experience with views of Lake Alby. You get down with the car via a perfectly adapted track and with the car’s technology you decide the speed yourself.
