Kartbahn Basel

In Basel, at the northern tip of Switzerland, the Kartbahn Basel runs electric karts on a covered track, on Gartenstrasse. Quiet and emission-free, these karts offer brisk acceleration and an immediate feel, pleasant for beginners and regulars alike. People come for a few sessions sheltered from the weather, in a city where indoor karting has a real place.

The track opens much of the week, in the afternoon and evening from Monday to Friday, and from midday at the weekend, which makes it an easy outing to organise. The place is open to all ages, for a race among friends, a family outing or an event among colleagues. The covered format guarantees driving all year round, whatever the weather.

Basel, set on the Rhine where Switzerland, France and Germany meet, is a city of art and culture, known for its old town, its museums and its carnival, the Fasnacht. The Kartbahn Basel adds a dose of modern electric driving there, welcome in all weather at the heart of this great border city in the north of the country.

The quiet of the electric karts and the clean air make it a pleasant outing even indoors, without the smells of petrol karting. The track suits birthdays, company evenings and races among friends, with guidance for the first laps. At the heart of a city served by a dense tram network, the place is easily reached without a car, which makes it a simple city outing to improvise.
