Want to share a few laughs with the family? Renting a toboggan in Les Karellis is the simple, fun activity par excellence. In the heart of the Maurienne, this human-sized village resort, perched at an altitude of 1,600 m, offers a safe and friendly environment. Tobogganing areas are located at the foot of the slopes, with gentle zones for toddlers and longer slopes for thrill-seekers. The backdrop is larch forests and, on a clear day, the Aiguilles d'Arves.

For the best conditions, target late morning when the sun has softened the snow, or mid-afternoon after a recent fall for mellow descents. Cold, clear mornings make for faster gliding, while windy days are more pleasant near forest edges, under shelter. After a heavy snowfall, it's the perfect time to rent a sled in Les Karellis and treat yourself to some fresh, fun runs.
