This Thrilling 1.5-km Mountain Coaster Near Ontario Needs To Be On Your Bucket List

It reached speeds of up to 35 km/h! ❄️
Staff Writer

For the ultimate thrill, you'll want to try The Viking in Saint-Sauveur.

Located one hour and 50 minutes from Ottawa, the mountain coaster is unlike anything you've tried before.

Unlike tobogganing down a hill, on this wild ride, you'll race down at top speeds.

The 1.5-kilometre track is filled with twists and turns as it takes you down a steep slope.

The alpine ride remains open year-round, but one of the best times to go is when the snow arrives.

Racing down, it is like you are in a snowglobe, and all around you will be glistening snow.

It is the perfect day trip, as onsite there is a snow park and skiing too.

Tickets are $13.99, and it is open Saturday and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Viking

Price: $13.99+ per person

Address: 350 St. Denis Ave., Saint-Sauveur, QC

Why You Need To Go: You can try it solo or with a friend.
