Sledging near to Montpellier (Cevennes)

Fancy a day out with fun in the snow for the kids?

Prat Peyrot and Esperou are the places to go and are the nearest to Montpellier - just 86kms and around 1 hour 40 mins drive.

Esperou is the lower of the two resorts with a very wide area for 'luge' - this is also the place to rent your sledge (smaller plastic ones can be bought for around Euro10 from the supermarket) - larger ones (well all sizes) can be rented in Esperou for a day or half day. There are a few restaurants in Esperou - Prat Peyrot is only the ski area another 4 kms up the mountain and just has a self service restaurant (no rental places or hotels or bars...so rent enroute up the mountain if you want to continue on to Prat Peyrot).

You can rent equipment (including sledges) from here for around Euro5 to Euro8.

Details on Aigoual incl prices of ski lift passes are here.

How much snow you can expect to find here is here.

And webcams showing the toboggan runs are here.
