Not just for skiers and boarders
The La Plagne and Paradiski resorts have something for everyone

The La Plagne and Paradiski resorts are not just for skiers and boarders, if you fancy a day off or perhaps are not into the usual snowsports, you may like to try one of the following. All the La Plagne resorts are linked via a regular bus service so all activities are easily accessible.

Bobsleigh

Not for the faint hearted! The official course built for the Albertville Winter Olympics is at La Plagne 1800. There are three options, Bob Raft; Taxi Bob; or Mono Bob. You can book in resort or in advance, but be warned it is popular!

Paragliding

The ESF ski schools not only offer excellent tuition but also extra activities such as Paragliding. We think the tandem pleasure flights at Champagny en Vanoise are the best.
