Location and contact
To find out more
Tobotronc is one of the rides at Naturland, and has the honour of being the world’s longest alpine toboggan run! It combines speed and adrenaline with the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding landscape – it’s 5.3 km (3.3 mi) long with a total drop of 400 m (1,312 ft), lasting nearly 10 minutes! It runs right through the La Rabassa forest and each bend of the ride offers a unique view of Andorra’s majestic mountains.
But don’t worry – the ride’s big drop is completely safe for visitors as all rides at Naturland observe strict health and safety standards. The ride’s cars can seat two people with safety belts and run on steel rails. A brake lever is also included in the cars, so riders can adjust the speed of their descent manually.
Naturland, home of the Tobotronc, really does have it all – a thrilling adventure park in Andorra, a stunning natural setting and the chance to see large native Pyrenean animals! The leisure park is located in the parish of Sant Julià de Lòria and is the ideal solution for those looking for a fun family tourist destination that’s also active and adventurous. The park covers 800 hectares (3 sq. mi) right in the middle of the lush La Rabassa forest and is divided into two distinct areas – one is at 1,600 m (5,250 ft) above sea level, and the other at 2,000 m (6,560 ft) above sea level. There are activities at the park suitable for any weather condition, rain or shine!
Enjoy the Tobotronc
Naturland’s official website at naturlandia.ad features live webcams of the park, so you can check it out in real time before you visit! To check availability of the Tobotronc ride (in case of adverse weather conditions), do call the park in advance on (+376) 741 444 or (+34) 902 042 202. Also worth remembering when planning your visit is that Tobotronc is closed for maintenance on Mondays and Tuesdays, except during the high season. The last Tobotronc ride of each day will be admitted no later than 30 minutes before the park closes, but should there be a large volume of visitors, park management may decide to close the queue ahead of time – so arrive early to avoid disappointment!
Do note that the Tobotronc is not a transfer method between the park’s two sectors – to travel between the two, you’ll need to travel by road. Access to the ride from Wednesdays to Fridays is from level 2,000, whereas on Saturdays and Sundays access is from level 1,600.
A great companion ride to Tobotronc is Airtrekk, an incredible aerial circuit that tests the balance of children and adults alike! The route is built on a 13.5 m (44 ft) high wooden structure, with no less than 54 obstacles and a zip line measuring 180 m (590 ft). And once you’ve enjoyed those, there’s plenty more to do at Naturland for the whole family, such as pony rides, tubby and minitubby toboggans, trampolines, bouncy castles, face-painting workshops, archery, 4x4 buggies, Nature Classroom and so much more!
