Summer Luge

After lunch we get the funnicular and cablecars back to Saas Fee.
Our hiking pass comes with a ticket for a free ride on the Summer Luge. The little car is dragged around 100m up the mountain side before starting its descent down a twisting track. You've got a brake to control your speed, but it's not clear what might happen to you if you choose not to use it. I'm not brave enough to find out.
Having got the lay of the track on my first run, I use the brake sparingly on my second run and manage to pass through the speed trap doing over 20mph! Whoosh!! I'm surprised my face didn't get ripped off by the forces involved.
