Top 5 winter activities for the whole family in La Norma
Night sledging with headlamps
After taking the last gondola, wait for the slopes to close with a complimentary drink, grab a headlamp and take to the slopes on a flying sled accompanied by an instructor. Over 6.5 km, you'll find yourself in small, privileged groups, on the secure domain, for a descent that promises fun, gliding and speed. The perfect family challenge. In December and January, when the days are still short, the descent can even be made by headlamp, in a true northern atmosphere.
Ages 8 and up!
Discover the Esseillon forts
At the foot of the La Norma resort, discover the Redoute Marie-Thérèse, one of the five forts of the Barrière l'Esseillon. The Redoute houses a museum area where you can learn all about these 19th-century fortresses. With educational and fun rooms, models and even underground passages. Ideal for children and parents alike!
And right next to La Redoute, you can also enjoy a huge accrobranche (in winter, open only by reservation for groups) and even vertiginous via ferrata accessible all year round and for all levels (accompaniment by a guide strongly recommended, especially in winter).

Skiing, of course!
Are you a good skier? Head for the top of the resort! Norma 2, Clot, Crêtes, Arlette... You're in for a treat with steep slopes and superb snowfields. You can also treat yourself to 1400m of vertical drop in one go by linking Norma 2-Norma 1-Carrelet-Forêt!
While La Norma offers steep slopes at the top of the resort, it is also suitable for all levels. With the Saint Anne, for example, a long green run that winds through the forest to the resort, or the Plateau de la Repose sector where kids and teens can enjoy the snowpark.
With its 27 runs, La Norma already offers a great skiing area. To make the most of it, your ski pass also gives you unlimited access to the neighboring resort of Valfréjus (bus access included with your ski pass).
Normaloops
Rail sledgingGlide and twist your way down 900m at up to 40 km/h through snow-covered fir trees. Thrills guaranteed! The gentle ascent allows you to recover from your emotions. Once you've reached the top? All you have to do is do it all over again! A 100% family activity: with its two seats, the sled is ideal for a parent-child activity. And when the kids are old enough, they can enjoy it on their own.
From age 3 and 8 unaccompanied.
Ski touring and splitboarding
Ski touring (ascent with "sealskins" under the skis and the heel detached, as in cross-country skiing. Descending with "classic" skis) is one of the fastest-growing activities in ski resorts. With its long-established ski trail, La Norma didn't wait for "ski touring" to become fashionable before offering this activity. It's a sport that can also be enjoyed by the whole family, sharing the pleasure of discovering nature on the way up (and the satisfaction of having succeeded in climbing!) and the pleasure of gliding down.
Introduction to ski touring for snowboarders
And because the sport never stops reinventing itself, try splitboarding during your family holiday at La Norma! Splitboarding has become a must at La Norma. It's a great way to get the whole family involved in this new discipline.
