For the expert skiers the downhill trail from the Sarenne is a real challenge (with a length of 17 kilometres the longest black run of Europe). Apart from that, the Pic Parenne offers you an uninterrupted descent from 3300 metres to 1100 metres (2230 metres downhill). There are also ample opportunities for off-piste skiing. 860 snow cannon make sure that there is always enough snow; you can ski on the higher slopes till the end of April.

The new ice rink is a real beauty, and there's a bowling too.
