    Supervised by a qualified musher, each participant learns to lead his or her own team of three or four Siberian dogs. It's an intense, sensory experience, both sporting and contemplative, that instantly transports you to the heart of the Great North.

    Mountain Kart, pure adrenalin

    From the top of the Aup de Véran gondola, thrill-seekers can hurtle down the slopes on three wheels, hands gripping the handlebars of the Mountain Kart. A fun and spectacular activity to try out as soon as the lifts close.

    The route, over six kilometres long, features sweeping bends and a breathtaking view of the snow-covered landscape. Adrenalin guaranteed, and a smile guaranteed.

    Trail blanc, pure freedom

    When the slopes fade and the silence sets in, Flaine reveals a different face. With snowshoes or trail running shoes, endurance enthusiasts can set off on seven snowy routes to explore the mountains in a whole new way.

    These signposted itineraries take you along the Arve Valley, admiring the frosty fir trees and breathing in the mountain air. A pure moment of freedom, far from the crowds and the ski lifts.

    MoonBike, the glide of the future

    It's one of this winter's great new products. Electric, silent and environmentally friendly, the MoonBike is taking winter sports into a new era.

    Half-motorbike, half-snowmobile, it lets you speed along dedicated circuits, without noise or emissions. Accessible to all, this futuristic experience will win you over with its manoeuvrability and total respect for nature.

    Driving on ice, like a pilot

    Driving enthusiasts will not be left out with the Flaine ice circuit, the largest in France.

    At the wheel of a Renault Sport or BMW vehicle, participants learn to master skids, tight bends and emergency braking on completely frozen terrain. It's a controlled adrenalin rush, a combination of precision and glide, ideal for ending the day on a spectacular note.
