Blown up

If you are on the look-out for new, unusual and fun snow sports, airboard is made for you. In the Vercors, Spéléo Montagne, who propose all kinds of activities to profit from the fantastic natural mountain playground; have added this surprising easy inflatable sledge to the mix.

It is also called snowbodyboard and thus all is clear. It is in fact an inflatable ultra light machine that you can slip into a rucksack and which allows you to combine all the pleasures of snow and snow sports.
Lets'go with snowshoes for example, to discover nature, animal tracks, thick soft snow and, on the way back, everyone can go down on their tummy on the airboard for the descent! This fun sledge can be used on flat or steep slopes depending on the quality of the snow (and the level of the participants).

One can do anything, a small approach walk by foot, through the Domaine de l'Aigle, up to the Cabane des Ramées with snowshoes, combine the activity with biathlon, or an orienteering race ... have a short stop in a mountain refuge for a snack then come back down at night on an eiderdown of fresh snow.
Guides take their customers to the Vercors ranges, the Chartreuse or the Dévoluy and it is even better to practice the exercise in the snowparks to which it is usually dedicated.
Moreover in La Plagne, in Montalbert domain, proposals will be made to holidaymakers, from February half-term, to escape the closed areas and slide down the slopes on the airboard over 600 metres difference in height when the slopes are closed.
Head first into the slope, sensations guaranteed and, for all those who want to learn, no problem, initiation is free!
