Practical tips for night skiing
Prepare your equipment
- dress warmly: temperatures drop rapidly after dark. Bring extra layers
- suitable goggles or masks: opt for yellow or transparent lenses to improve visibility in artificial light
- safety lighting: even if the slopes are well lit, a small headlamp can be useful
Safety first
Night skiing requires special attention. Perception of relief changes with artificial lighting, and it takes a little getting used to. Here are a few recommendations:
- start slowly to get used to the light conditions
- respect marked and lit areas
- adapt your speed: relief is harder to perceive at night
- don't hesitate to take breaks to enjoy the atmosphere
Although access to the lifts is free during these special evenings, we recommend that you check access and weather conditions beforehand.
*Dates and program are subject to change depending on snow and weather conditions.
