Swiss Mountain Ride in San Sebastián – The Oldest Wooden Roller Coaster in Spain
Step back in time and experience the charm of the Montaña Suiza (Swiss Mountain Ride), a historic wooden roller coaster located at the top of Monte Igueldo in San Sebastián, Spain.
Opened in 1928, this ride is one of the oldest wooden roller coasters still operating in the world. Unlike modern steel coasters, Montaña Suiza offers a unique retro experience: small wooden cars glide along the hillside with breathtaking views of the Bay of La Concha and the Atlantic Ocean.
This isn’t about extreme drops or high speeds – it’s about nostalgia, history, and stunning landscapes. Riding Montaña Suiza feels like traveling back to the golden age of amusement parks, where fun was simple and the views were unforgettable.
If you’re visiting San Sebastián, don’t miss the chance to ride this piece of living history at the Monte Igueldo Amusement Park.
