They call it a luge run, if you want to search for it yourself. I also found this on U-Tube, which is supposed to be the Courchevel run, only of course I don't know if it really is and it's a bit annoying because the video is tilted on its side:

Thank you AllyG :thumbup:
I think you are right.
They close at 7.30 pm.
We will definitely do it on a chalet host's day off(no dinner in chalet)!
The video suggest it is fast :shock:
Any recommendations foa an evening meal in Courchevel 1550?

Another run worth doing is to go up the Jardin Alipn bubble (to stage 2 stays open) and whizz back down this one into the croissette.

Hi Andy,

Many thanks :thumbup:
5 euros is reasonable :)
Is this other toboggan run up Jardin Alpin open late after dark?
The idea being:
preferably: toboganning after dinner from appr.10pm if possible;
failing that: we ski till lift closure, then back to chalet in La Tania for coffee and cakes and then back to Courchevel tobogganing :-) then racing back to chalet for a dinner :?:

AllyG wrote:Biki17,
That toboggan run does go on for a long time during the evening because it's close to the apartment we had in Courchevel 1550 last year, and I could hear them laughing and screaming and see the lights. And the gondola to get you back up to 1850 keeps going until late as well.

But I don't know how much it costs because I never had a go at it myself.

Hi AllyG,

Thank you for good news :)
Yeah, there is a lot of screaming on toboggan runs.
You should try it one day or perhaps one night.
We absolutely love it :mrgreen:

Kind regards,

Hi,

We are looking forward to skiing 3 Valleys later on this month.
One of our favourite apres ski activities is tobogganing.
We know there is a toboggan run from Courchevel 1850 down to 1550.

Do you know what time do they close it?
Is it lit?
How much is toboggan's rental?

Thank you for your help :thumbup:
