speed thrillon the slopes of Shahdag
The Shahdag Mountain Resort in the northern Gusar region opened in 2012 as the first ski resort in Azerbaijan. Ever since, it has developed into a superb all-round tourism centre with a wide range of activities in both winter and summer. One of the most exciting attractions here, open in year-round, is the new Shahdag Coaster – the only mountain coaster in the Caucasus.
Located at 1,430 m above sea level, the coaster features a 1,670 m track with nine thrilling turns, allowing adrenaline seekers the unique opportunity to experience the stunning mountain scenery, snow-covered in winter and perfectly lush in summer, while zooming down at 42 km/h. The 50 sleds on the attraction accommodate 300-350 people per hour.
Tickets for the ride can be purchased at the Shahdag Hotel & SPA and Zirve Hotel. Children over the age of 3 are allowed to enter the attraction, and before using it, staff will provide you with a safety briefing.
