Evening activities
Always wanted to go skiing, hiking or sledding in the dark? That's possible! Several times a year, the La Tzoumaz Tourist Office organises unique evening tours. For example, there is the night toboggan ride, you take the telecabine to the Savoleyres at 18:00 and eat in the restaurant. When it is dark outside, you will go down in groups accompanied by ski instructors. It is an exciting downhill run, through the darkness you never know when the next turn or steep descent will come! After the exciting part you will make a beautiful trip through the forest and you will have a beautiful view on all the lights of the village. After about an hour you will be downstairs and you can discuss the exciting experience with hot chocolate milk. The sleigh rides are suitable for children from the age of 12 and can be booked at the tourist office next to the telecabine.
The office du tourisme also organizes hikes in the dark. You start at the end of the afternoon at maison de La Foret and walk up through the forest accompanied by a guide. It's a tough hike, but the hard work is rewarded by the beautiful sunset that can be seen on arrival at Chez Simon. At Chez Simon you eat a nice cheese fondue or a portion of raclette with a glass of wine from our own vineyard. After dinner you descend to the village in the dark again, along the way you can enjoy the view of the lights of the Rhône valley.
Ski tours are also organized in the dark, this is a unique and unforgettable experience. You take the last lift up to the Savoleyres and ski to one of the restaurants, which differs per trip. At the restaurant you will get a delicious typical Swiss dinner. When it is dark you will descend to the village with a guide. Everyone will be given a flashlight or torch. You will ski down the blue slopes and the forest path, so the descent is also suitable for beginners and children (with ski experience) from 8 years old. It is an exciting, but fun trip and definitely something you should have experienced once!
