La Plagne’s Olympic bobsleigh run (which will now be used again at the 2030 Winter Olympics) has long offers tourists descents. These have included the ever popular self-guided bob raft (below) and the taxi bob where you descend the track in a proper bobsleigh behind a professional pilot.
This winter, for what’s believed to be the first time, visitors have the chance to learn how to pilot a bobsleigh down the track themselves.

This thrilling experience includes a track walk (just like the pros when they study the best line down) two descents in a two-person bobsleigh (one as a pilot, and the other as a passenger) and a technical (and emotional) debriefing. Throughout the day, guests will be supervised by a professional pilot, plus French bobsleigh federation-certified instructors.
This unique opportunity will run on 17 January 2025 (eight people maximum, minimum age 16) and is priced from €590 / £505 pp, helmet, insurance and crampons included.
