Toboggan Ride

Handmade from wicker and mounted on wooden runners, the traditional Monte toboggans have been crafted by artisans since the mid-19th century using fine local materials. Each descent is guided by two "Carreiros", dressed in white with straw hats, who steer and brake with skill using rubber-soled boots. Their experience and warmth make this one of Madeira's most iconic and memorable experiences.
