Looking for a family tobogganing experience in the heart of the Southern Alps? Renting a toboggan at Roubion Les Buisses is the ideal way to enjoy a fun-filled day out, with incredible views over the Tinée valley and the Mercantour peaks. On the snow front, dedicated tobogganing areas offer fun for young and old alike.

The winter climate here is often bright: beautiful sunny days, but temperatures can drop well below zero. In the morning, the snow is firmer and faster; in the afternoon, it becomes softer and more comfortable for children. After a snowfall, the sensations are soft and silent, perfect for a series of descents. In case of wind or frost, prefer basic slopes and stay on marked areas. Don't forget to check the weather and snow reports before setting off.

For a successful outing, rent a stable sled with brakes, and equip your children with a helmet, waterproof gloves, waterproof pants and goggles or face mask. Sunscreen is a must: the sun beats down hard at altitude. Keep your distance on downhill runs, don't ride in the middle of the piste, and keep an eye on the youngest skiers. Arrive early on weekends for easy parking near Les Buisses, as the road over the Col de la Couillole can be snow-covered: winter equipment recommended.

Between two runs, take a hot chocolate break or stroll through the charming hilltop village of Roubion. Renting a toboggan in Roubion Les Buisses promises a simple, fun and memorable experience, just a stone's throw from the forests and wide-open spaces of the Mercantour.
