From the top of the gondola, there are three beautiful, tree lined runs, (green, blue and red) that wind back down to La Tania, the blue of which is serviced by snow cannons all year round to maintain utmost piste conditions right up until the end of the Easter season.

Their centre is located close to La Tania village, (on the left as you start the road ascent up from Moutiers) or you can book the directly at the tourist office.
Or attempt hydrospeed and brave the rapids on a polystyrene body board, whilst desperately attempting not to swallow too much water! (Recommended for confident swimmers only).
