Grand Montets
Grands Montets is a newly refurbished snow sports area with two boardercrosses. Located at 2000m, it boasts a 400m long track which includes various rails, rollers, table-tops, kickers and banked turns. Sponsored by BMW, this brilliant course is fitted with a video system so you can record the daredevil within you and show off your skills to your friends via social media. If you’re up for the challenge, you can even step up your game and try the competition-standard 800m track.
Le Tour
One of the largest Snowparks in Europe, Le Tour is the perfect place to try out bigger and bolder moves. Located at 2000m, the freestyle zone is 1000 meters long, running off the right of the Teleski du Col. Check out the relaxing ‘Cool Zone’ and admire professional tricksters while listening to some great music. Then, take to the boardercross yourself and try new grabs, spins, rides and flips on the various jumps, boxes and pipes lines. As you grow in confidence, move up from the blue pistes to the red and the black.
