I took one of the world’s 7 coolest commutes - Monte Sledge ride with my mom, and it was one of the best experiences we had together! 🛷♥️ The ride down in the traditional basket sledges dates back to early 19th century where they were used as a means of transport by the local residents who wanted to travel quickly from the village of Monte to the city of Funchal. For many years toboggan riding from Monte has been a very popular tourist attraction. The Toboggans are driven by two runners, dressed in white and wearing the typical hats known as Carreiros do Monte. The route down is in a very picturesque area and a thrilling ride of up to 30 Kms per hour is guaranteed! 📍 Associação dos Carreiros do Monte, Funchal, Madeira. The best way to reach here is by taking the cable car for one way and get the most stunning aerial views of Funchal. 😍 💶The ride costs 30€ for two people.
