The Activities

We have a diverse range of activities to choose from and of course they are not all the same price!! So to make it easy for you we have divided the activities into three categories, Green, Blue and Red.

Each colour is worth a number of points:

Green Activities are worth 1 point
Blue Activities are worth 2 points
Red Activities are worth 3 points

With this holiday you have eight points, so you can choose a mixture of activities from each colour to make up your eight points. You can choose 2 of the same activity - eg 2 half days guided snowshoeing

Green Activities - 1 point

Moonlit Snowshoe The glow of red and orange as the sun sets over the mountains is a truly beautiful scene. And what better way to enjoy it than in the peace and tranquility of the high mountain environment on snowshoes. This is a guided evening snowshoe walk looking at the sunset and / or the stars (depending on time of year) Find out more about snowshoeing

Snowshoeing Half a day of guided snowshoeing. Choose from a list of themed snowshoes from Chamois spotting to snow security or just a straight forward walk! Listen to the crunch of snow beneath your feet as you snow-shoe through the alpine wilderness. Look out for chamois and Ibex.

Luna Ball or Zorbing - A Luna Ball is a large inflatable ball. You are strapped to the inside of it and literally roll down the piste! It is also called zorbing! I guess the heavier you are the faster you will go or have I got the laws of physics mixed up! Minimum age is 9.

Igloo Building - have a go at building your own igloo in the snow! There are several techniques to choose from to build a perfect igloo! And as you will see the end results vary - enormously! This is a guided 1/2 day activity and usually involves some snowshoeing to get to a good igloo site!

Cross Country Skiing (without instructor) Give your lungs and legs an aerobic workout as you explore the alpine winter landscapes. The Champsaur and Valgaudemar valleys have an extensive range of cross country skiing pistes including a high altitude circuit. This options gives you a piste pass and skis and boots for the day (either skating or traditional style). If you have never cross country skied before, you may want to choose the blue option with a lesson.

Blue Activities - 2 points

Snow Mountain Biking Catch the last lift up in the ski resort of Orcieres with your specially adapted mountain bike and, after a few top tips from your instructor, ride down! A great fun activity to finish off the day. Minimum age is 8.

Husky Dog Sledding A one hour sled with your own team of huskies across the alpine snow fields of the Southern French Alps.

Night in an Igloo Wrap up warm and go 'eskimo' for the night. A truly memorable experience on a high Alpine plateau. Special matresses and sleeping bags are provided and evening meal and breakfast is included. Minimum age is 3.

Cross Country Skiing Lesson Your instructor will spend the morning with you giving you top tips on technique. Then you have the afternoon free to go off on your own and make the most of the extensive range of cross country skiing pistes in the region!

Snowscoot This is a unique sport and consists of a non-motorized scooter type contraption with a surf board instead of wheels. It is actually very easy to master and you'll be surprised how quickly you progress! You have a morning lesson and the option of keeping the snowscoot for the day.

Red Activities - 3 points
