From what age can children go sledging?
Sledging is one of the few mountain activities that can be enjoyed from a very young age.
Toddlers can discover the snow in a pushchair sledge or a sledge pulled by their parents, as soon as they are able to sit upright properly.
From around 2 or 3 years old, children can try their first short runs in safe areas, always under adult supervision.
At around 6 or 7 years old, children generally become more independent and can use a sledge suited to their size, preferably equipped with brakes to help them learn to control their direction.
But sledging isn't just for children. Teenagers and adults can also enjoy fun runs or try more sporty activities offering even more thrills.
Where can you go sledging during your holiday?
Most ski resorts now have areas specifically designed for sledging.
You'll easily find safe areas at the foot of the slopes, family-friendly runs and routes accessible to pedestrians.
Some resorts go even further by offering dedicated sledging runs, sometimes open in the evening so you can enjoy a run under the stars.
Thrill-seekers can also try original activities such as Snake Gliss, Airboard runs or multi-kilometre sledging runs, available at many French resorts.
Before setting off, remember to check your resort's information to find out which areas are authorised and what the safety rules are.
