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. |
