Mission Black Forest: the Méribel Adventure Toboggan Run
EMBARK ON AN ADVENTURE: MISSION BLACK FOREST IN MÉRIBEL
Mission Black Forest is much more than just a simple toboggan ride. Over more than 3 km of track, with a 470 m descent and 28 bends, you’ll be immersed in an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Arbin Forest. Suitable for those 1.40 m and taller, this activity combines sliding, a themed storyline and spectacular scenery.
The adventure begins the moment you climb the last step of the staircase at the exit of the Tougnète cable car. The spellbinding scenery already draws the most curious visitors into the heart of the plot. The equipment hire on site is very convenient and of good quality. Once you’ve got your sledge and helmet, it’s time to discover the booklet containing the mission to be completed!
The atmosphere amongst the fir trees transports us to a world of its own, with magnificent views unfolding all along the route! Whizz down this fun-filled track and stop the goblin invasion by striking the various gongs. Admire the realistic and fun scenery in the stunning setting of the Méribel Valley. Hone your sledge-riding skills on the slightly technical sections of the course.
