The Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain is Big Bear Lake’s premier year-round attraction, offering thrilling bobsled-style rides down dual quarter-mile concrete tracks. Located at the base of Snow Summit, this family-friendly destination combines outdoor adventure with stunning San Bernardino Mountain views.
Riders control their own speed using a hand brake as they twist and turn through the forested mountainside. The attraction is perfect for all ages – young children can ride tandem with adults, while thrill-seekers can push the limits on their own sled.
Magic Mountain also features:
– Two-story waterslide complex (summer months)
– Go-kart track
– Miniature golf course
– Mining sluice for gold panning
– Snack bar and picnic areas
The Alpine Slide operates daily during summer and on weekends in spring and fall (weather permitting). Winter visitors can enjoy nearby Snow Summit for skiing and snowboarding.
