You glide, you turn, you skid, you race down the ski slope — a tumble here, a burst of laughter there — a brilliant shared moment of fun for the whole group.

How the activity works
🗺️ Organisation & How it works
You'll meet your team of Takamaka facilitators and ESF ski instructors, who will supervise you throughout the activity. After explaining the basic technique for your sledge, they'll guide you down the slope — cleared of all skiers! Turns, braking, controlled skids — a few minutes is all it takes to build confidence and let go !
🌙 Step 2 — The Descent: Magic & Adrenaline!
At sunset or on a nocturnal session after dinner, equipped with a head torch, the views will take your breath away and the moment with your team will be simply unforgettable. A reserved piste, mountain lights, crisp Alpine air and the thrill of speed — a unique sensory experience that creates a truly magical and festive atmosphere.
🏆 Step 3 — The Impromptu Race!
Don't hesitate to organise a little race between colleagues! Timed runs, head-to-head duels and team challenges — the slope naturally becomes a friendly competition arena where everyone can shine, from the most cautious to the most daring !
