With 9 tracks of Alpine skiing, but above all, its vast northern domain with more than 50 km of ski slopes cross-country skiing (100 km Mézenc and Meygal combined), the resort of Les Estables is the queen of skiing and the family resort par excellence!
2-Walking, on foot or on snowshoes
That the massif of Mezenc has put on his white coat or not, what better way to enjoy the landscape than walking or snowshoeing?

4- Pilot a kite, on foot, on skis or on a buggy
Thanks to Didier Botta, kite instructor at Estables, we begin to know the snowkite which is practiced on skis or snowboard when the snow is there… But what about the winters when the precious powder is missing? Well The 2 Winds school diversifies by offering activities that still play with the wind, but on dry land!
For beginners, there is always the essential sailing piloting on foot. It's like a big Kite whose size varies according to the level of the student and the strength of the wind.
Then when you have mastered all these elements, all you have to do is set off on this curious three-wheeled machine that Didier now offers at The 2 Winds : the buggy. And with it, no need for snow! Its imposing wheels allow it to go anywhere!
5- Driving a team of sled dogs
On foot or by sled, what counts is the link and the proximity with the animals. And if in winter the mushers of Estables offer sliding sensations behind a "great north adventure" style hitch, when there is not enough snow, it is good to know that the cani-rando practice summer and winter! And for dog lovers, it's all good! Because "sharing with the animal is all the greater in cani-rando", underlines Gérald Erik, musher at Amarok Valley.
6-And if not, you always have the Lugik park, whatever the season!
Thanks to the Lugik park, you can toboggan all year round! Embark on a toboggan on rails which connects two ascents and two descents until sometimes exceeding 40 km/h! All this in the exceptional panorama offered by the Mézenc and Alambre mountains. A unique concept in France! Buckle up, it's going to take your breath away!
