"Rodel" is the German word for sled. The sleds are beautiful and can hold a child and one adult easily. We never actually went down the mountain all together. The boy went down once with me and twice with his dad, and he wanted to stay and do it again and again!
Rodeling is much more like using a luge than a sled. The top of the mountain was just that. We shared a five minute gondola ride with real skiers to get to the top of the track. It took 20 minutes of constant motion to get to the bottom. We look forward to doing it again, and will have our own rodel before long.
