Provide your children with helmets and be careful: after each run quickly move away from the bottom of the slope and walk up the sides of the sledging area.
Bobsleigh run at La Plagne
La Plagne is the only resort in Savoie Mont Blanc with a bobsleigh run.
The 1992 Winter Olympics luge, bobsleigh and skeleton run is in the village of La Roche.
Considered to be one of the most technical runs in the world, it is open to all.
Three types of bob can be used, but will you break Bruno Mingeon's record of 139 km/hr?
Bob-raft
This 4-person bob has automatic steering and breaking. Suitable for families, it can reach speeds of up to 80km/hr.
Mono-bob
World exclusive!
Hurtle down the run at almost 90 km/hr, just like the experts.
Taxi-bob
Similar to a 4-person competition bob, a taxi bob is driven by a professional driver. Thrills guaranteed!
Watch a video of the run.
