Located at the cable car station exit, close to the Restaurant de la Creusaz, the snow playground features a magic carpet and a beginners’ slope for children up to five years old. Private lessons with a ski instructor can be booked on request.

Located in a natural outdoor setting, the Salvan ice rink welcomes skaters and hockey players from mid-December to the end of February, depending on weather conditions.

A small bar beneath allows the chance to take a break before returning on the rink… Material rental at low prices is available on site.

These winter trails were created by the Alpiniski team and inaugurated in 2007. All are different lengths – namely the 3.2 kilometre La Chaulée d'en Bas, the 1.2 kilometre La Chaulée d'en Haut; and the 2.55 kilometre La Chaulée Neuve – and offer unforgettable moments in the snow-covered natural environment of Les Marécottes. The trails are entirely signposted in pink and are situated away from the ski slopes with the exception of certain marked intersections.

Charlotte the marmot offers a fun way for young and old curious to take an interest in natural hazards and their management while discovering the region’s fauna and flora.
