Snow Storm – Best for Group Giggles
Snow Storm is all about shared chaos. Designed for up to four riders on one giant inflatable, this slide sends you spinning, swooping, and laughing your way through twists and turns before a splashy finale. It’s fast enough to feel thrilling, but playful enough that the laughs usually outweigh the screams.
Personal tips:
- This is perfect for families or groups
- Sit opposite your friends if you can; the eye contact makes it even funnier.
- Hold on tight at the start, those first turns catch people out!
Height requirement:
- Minimum height: approx. 1.2m
- aged 8+ (Smaller riders may need to ride with an adult)
Black Run – The One for Brave Hearts
If you like your thrills fast and fearless, Black Run delivers. This high-speed slide drops you into near-darkness, where you rely purely on gravity and guts. No inflatable, no slowing down!
Personal tips:
- Cross your arms and legs to go faster.
- Ride this early if you can; confidence is higher before your legs turn to jelly!
Height requirement:
- Minimum height: approx. 1.2m ages 8+

Cresta Run – Fast, Sporty, and Underrated
Cresta Run is a little different and that’s what makes it great. You ride head-first on a mat, sled-style, giving it a sporty, alpine feel inspired by traditional ski runs. It’s smooth, quick, and surprisingly competitive once you’ve tried it once.
Personal tips:
- Keep your head up and weight centred for the smoothest ride.
- Great choice if you want speed without total darkness.
- Brilliant confidence booster if you’re building up to Black Run.
Height requirement:
- Minimum height: approx. 1.2m aged 8+
- Riders must be comfortable lying flat on the mat
Olympic Run – Race to the Splashdown
Olympic Run is all about friendly competition. One of the longest slides at Alpamare, this double-rider experience lets you race side-by-side through sweeping bends and speedy drops. Expect laughter, mock rivalry, and at least one “I totally won” argument at the bottom.
Personal tips:
- Choose your racing partner wisely!
- Lean slightly into the turns to keep momentum.
- Ideal for couples, siblings, or anyone who loves a challenge.
Height requirement:
- Minimum height: approx. 1.2m aged 8+
