Alternative Alpine Activities

Dirt bikes and Devil karts are great for adult fun as well as for the youngsters! Riding vehicles with oversized tyres and beefed up brakes down a mountain course is immense fun and can be as fast and hairy (or slow and sedate) as you want it to be. 

The ski lifts are open to take you and your Dirt Bike or Go Kart back up to the top of the mountain again, so there are more "downhill thrills" as opposed to an uphill struggle! Devil Karts and Dirt Bikes run mainly in Morzine, other resorts may offer this activity but it is limited in supply and subject to availability.

Chamonix lugeThe Luge is immense fun! It can be as fast (or slow) as you dare to go! Each Luge has a hand brake to control the speed of the car and drivers can choose how exhilarated they want to feel! The Luge suits all ages (especially the adults) because you can control your own speed for the sheer buzz of it! Parents can accompany young children on their laps.
