Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc invites travellers to embrace a winter filled with unbeatable skiing, warm hospitality and a collection of extraordinary activities that go far beyond the classic alpine break. Introduce a fresh highlight to your time in the mountains with these eccentric and extraordinary activities…
Snake Gliss, Bernex
This adrenaline-filled activity sees travellers board a train of toboggans for a descent down the “Pré Richard” slope back to the bottom of the resort. Led by an instructor, the toboggan snakes speedily through the snow for guaranteed thrills and laughter. Tickets are €18 per adult.
Human Curling, Praz de Lys Sommand
Travellers will love this playful adaptation of a classic winter sport as they become the stone in a game of human curling. Groups take it in turns to slide across the ice rink themselves, aiming for the target as they are pushed by their team. It’s a fun, social activity, perfect for friends or families looking for a light-hearted challenge after a day on the slopes. Prices available on request.
Cold Yoga Session, Samoëns
Adding a brisk freshness to any wellness routine, this winter-fresh yoga class allows participants to connect with the mountain air. The practice focuses on grounding breathwork and movement in the tranquillity of the surroundings. Prices start at €30 (minimum 5 people).
Igloo Construction Workship, Onnion
In a supervised workshop, accessible to novices as well as seasoned snow-hikers, travellers learn how to build a snow shelter or igloo, using specialised snow-building techniques and tools. The experience begins with a short snow-shoe walk, providing a peaceful introduction to snowy alpine terrain. It’s a great family-friendly or group activity to enjoy during the quieter hours of a winter day. Prices start at €180.
Hanging from a tree, this transparent bubble offers an unusual accommodation for a night under the stars. Guests enjoy a cosy, immersive experience amid quiet woodlands and snow-covered landscapes. Rooms start at €200 per night.
Nuit en Falaise, Veyrier-du-Lac
The bravest of travellers can choose to spend a night suspended on a cliffside portaledge above the lake. This experience blends adrenaline and awe in equal measure. After a guided ascent, adventurists spend the night on a hanging platform anchored to rock, surrounded by night, water and mountain scenery. It’s a daring way to reconnect with nature, best suited to those comfortable with heights and seeking an unforgettable alpine memory. Prices start at €390 per person.
