competition range

The luge slide is made of concrete or wood, which is the same as the track of snowmobile and prone sled, but the starting point is farther than the other two events. The track is designed in the shape of the Greek letter Omega.

The width of the road is 1.30 ~ 1.50m, and the retaining walls on both sides of the slideway need to be iced. The race track length is 1000 ~ 1400 m for men and 800 ~ 1200 m for women. Curves with a radius of 8m are 1 1 ~ 18. The average slope of the slideway is the same for men and women, ranging from 4 to10. The height difference between the starting point and the ending point is 70 ~ 130m.
