Unusual activities in winter sports :
Treat yourself to new experiences in the mountains!

Climb into a buoy and hurtle down the slopes! Those who love to slide will love it! There are different courses for different age groups, so there's something for everyone. Race with friends or family or try to set a speed record without falling! Then go back up the slope on a treadmill and set off again for a round! Make sure you are well equipped: warm clothes against the cold, helmet, gloves and hat. Goggles are also essential to protect your eyes from the wind and snow.

 

Do you want to know which member of the family is the best driver on ice? Challenge yourself on an ice karting course! Children and adults will be able to compete with each other for a memorable experience! You don't need a driving licence, but you will have to press the button if you want to finish on the podium! Ski suits, gloves and helmets are recommended for this activity.

Some resorts also offer ice driving, which is reserved for adults with a driving licence who want to improve their driving on snow.

 

The fatbike's tyres are much wider than those of a conventional bike, and are designed to provide better grip on snowy or rough terrain. Warm up to prepare your muscles, and go for a nice ride on adapted routes! This activity can be practised both during the day and at night. Remember to cover up well and hydrate regularly. A headlamp is strongly recommended if you ride at night! This sport requires energy, so take a small snack for the break.

 

Share a unique moment with a horse, all while putting on skis. Ski joëring will appeal to both adults and children. It's a completely different way of skiing, and you don't have to use the lifts. It is not necessary to have a very good level of skiing to be pulled by the horse. You just need to have your first star! For the more experienced, a slalom is offered. This sport is not easy, as you have to steer the horse with your arms while standing on your skis. This activity can also be done with a dog team. Don't forget to bring gloves to keep your hands warm, as well as your ski clothes and equipment.

Are you crazy about four-legged fur balls? Then you will love dog sledding: a gentle activity in the heart of exceptional panoramas. Experience magical moments with your loved ones and let yourself slide through snowy landscapes. Make sure you are warmly equipped to fully enjoy this moment.

This practice is very appreciated by all, because it is very easy to access. The snowshoe can be slipped on over the après-ski, and allows you to walk in complete stability in the snow. Various hiking routes are accessible in the middle of snowy panoramas, and allow you to easily enter in communion with nature. More and more resorts are offering marked trails. Before setting off, remember to take water, warm and comfortable clothing, sunglasses and sun cream. (We remind you that even in bad weather, the sun reflects off the snow). Some resorts also offer snowshoe and yoga hikes, which allow you to find yourself and meditate with full awareness in the middle of nature. This interlude of well-being allows you to disconnect from stress and to recharge your batteries.

 

There's nothing like sledging for a fun family outing! Sledding can be done on a track or on rails. You can slide on wooden or plastic sleds. Keep your distance and do it in suitable areas. Make sure you cover yourself from head to toe.

 

This small motorbike equipped with skis is an ideal sport for motorized gliding enthusiasts. You must be of age and have a driving licence. Rent a snowmobile and ride in the heart of the Alps. Snowmobiling is done on dedicated trails or when the slopes are closed. As this activity is mainly practiced at night, it is important to dress warmly to make the most of the ride.

 

Try a different kind of sliding by putting on ice skates. We recommend that you wear practical and comfortable clothing so that you can move freely. Beginners and experts alike need to be flexible and agile, coordinate their movements and have a sense of balance. Wear gloves and even a helmet to protect yourself in case of a fall.

 

The yooner is the "modern" version of the paret, a mix between the ski and the luge. Indeed, this machine consists of a ski with a seat and a handle to guide it. It is very easy to use and is ideal for a family outing or with children. It is ideal for young and old alike. Easy to learn, you don't need to know how to ski. Many resorts offer this very accessible sport. A simple ski suit and après-ski are enough to practice it. For added safety, a helmet is available.
