OTHER ACTIVITIES

Briançon town - a great day-out for non-skiers

Jump on the free shuttle bus and 20 minutes later you'll find yourself in Briançon, the highest town in Europe (you can of course ski to Briançon if you prefer). The Cité Vauban (the old town of Briancon) makes the trip well worth a visit with its pretty houses and interesting souvenir shops.

Relax at the thermal spa

The village has one of the largest spa baths in Europe (currently under construction). Located at the bottom of the pistes, this makes an ideal retreat at the end of the day to unwind and relax.

Snowshoes

Go trekking in the snow with a pair of snowshoes attached to your walking boots - suddenly the beautiful snowy valleys and mountains are within your reach. There are walks throughout the valley and you can use the lifts to avoid the uphill treks! Why not spend a day snow-shoeing and stop for lunch in one of the mountain restaurants?

Tabogganing & Sledging

Children (and big kids!) adore tabogganing and there are lots of places where you can spend an hour or more having enormous fun, often in fits of giggles. Taboggans, sledges and other fun 'sliding' equipment can be hired or bought in the village.
