Activity details
Take the controls of a snow groomer in Courchevel
Quiet settles over the slopes of Courchevel. The last skiers are making their way down, and now it’s your turn to spring into action! Tonight, you’ll step into the shoes of a snow groomer operator — one of the professionals who shape the slopes overnight, ready for skiers to enjoy again the following morning.
Climb aboard an 8-tonne, 380-horsepower machine alongside an expert instructor. After a short introduction to the snow groomer’s different functions and the purpose of grooming, you’ll receive a briefing on the controls and safety instructions. Then you’re ready to take the wheel!
Your mission for the evening: push snow uphill on a section of our activity site, level the surface and make another pass to compact it. There’s quite a skill to it! A fascinating experience off the beaten track, waiting for you in Courchevel.
