UNUSUAL ACTIVITIES
Over the moon - A night among the stars
A top-of-the-range suite set inside one of the snow groomers at an altitude of 2000 metres. The programme includes a trip to the top of the Arpette, a whirlpool bath experience, a glass of champagne, a love box, music, home cinema, LED lighting, breakfast with a view of Mont Blanc, and much more…
First Tracks - An exclusive wake-up call
Being the first on the slopes, seeing the sun rise over Paradiski and making the first tracks on the slopes… Nothing could be more magical to start your skiing day! Accompanied by the resort’s ski patrollers, this exclusive experience begins with breakfast at the top of the slopes. Then it’s off to the slopes, with the backdrop of peaks lit up by the soft morning light.
The Aiguille Rouge illuminated murals
If it were possible to transform the garage of a ski lift from its original function, what would we turn it?
At the arrival of the Varet cable car, there’s an unsuspected spot hidden from view which, every morning, undergoes a transformation, adorning itself in light(s). An unexpected passageway then reveals a triptych of universes in which visitors are invited to wander, listen and contemplate illuminated murals around the seasons.
Icefall - Climbing new summits
Initiation with high mountain guides on the Champagny-en-Vanoise ice tower, from mid-December to mid-March. This 24-metre-high structure is made up of a series of ramps with gradients adapted to the level of each climber. The Ice Experience is open to all.
Bobsleigh - On the Olympic track
Enjoy a unique experience in France as you hurtle down the 19 bends of the Olympic bobsleigh track in La Plagne. You can choose between 4 types of sleds: the Bob-Raft, a self-guided and self-braking bobsleigh. With the Speed-Luge, you ride alone in a well-padded, self-steering, streamlined sled, for a downhill run at reaching 90 km/h. Looking for a thrill? Opt for Bob-Racing, which is close to a competition bobsleigh. Sitting behind the professional driver, you will reach speeds up to 120 km/h! Upon request, you can also take part in the Olympic Experience and ride down in a competition bobsleigh driven by Bruno Mingeon, Bobsleigh World Champion and Olympic medallist.
