List of natural luge tracks
Natural luge tracks are tracks that are used for naturbahn luge competitions. Tracks are often located along mountain roads and paths. The track surface is made of packed snow and ice, with a slope of not more than 15%. Unlike its Olympic counterpart "kunstbahn" luge, natural tracks are to be adapted to the natural conditions and artificial refrigeration and banked curves are not permitted.
Natural tracks are partly built on existing paths, but also on specially created areas and must of course be adapted to the given terrain. They are delimited with wooden bands, plastic walls or foam mats and only prepared with snow and water. The lanes must have a minimum width of and the curves must have a minimum radius of seven meters. In contrast to the artificial tracks, they must not be raised. The usual lengths of these natural tracks are between, they must not exceed an average gradient of 13% and a maximum gradient of 25%.
The natural track should have at least the following elements:
- a left turn
- a right turn
- a hairpin
- a combination of curves
- a straight
More than 50 natural toboggan runs are mainly used in Italy, Austria, and Germany. In addition there are runs in Russia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Sweden, Norway, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Croatia, New Zealand, Slovenia, the Ukraine, Slovakia, Switzerland, France, and Liechtenstein as well as Canada and the United States.
The most well-known natural track in the United States is in Michigan, hosted by the Upper Peninsula Luge Club. Canada has tracks in Camrose, Hinton, Grande Prairie, and Calgary in Alberta, as well as a track at the Ontario Luge Club at the Calabogie Peaks resort..
The track in Naseby, New Zealand, is the only one in the southern hemisphere.
