We did the bobsleigh run in La Plagne earlier this year; it was absolutely brilliant and I'd highly recommend it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I reckon it's the La Plagne one, don't know of any others.
You could keep the 92 Olympic theme and have a go on the ski jump in courchevel, dont worry if you crash on your first try because they'll give you a second go for free!!!!

Yes, the La Plagne one is the only one in France - or anyway the only one in a ski resort.

Or you could try the St Moritz one in Switzerland or the Igls one in Austria or the Cortina one in Italy (Dolomites, close to the Sella Ronda).

Lillehammer opens in the Summer - runs on wheels on the bare concrete, and doesn't go that much slower. Been down it. Great fun.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

....or the one at the Olympic Park in Calgary - the bobsleigh track is next to the jump where Eddie the Eagle did his stuff.

seriously want to do this one year. We watched the world cup bobsleigh in La Plagne a few years back and it was fantastic, the sheer power and size of the guys is amazing and the coordination to get 4 mahoosive blokes into something the size of a bathtub is staggering. Wanted to do a taxibob to get a good sense of speed

You know it makes sense.
|
We're going to the La Plagne bobsleigh run on Saturday, on the way to Tignes.
Wish us luck!!

There is one in Cesana Torinese in the Via Lattea (ski area) in Italy, which hosted the 2006 Winter Olympic bobsleigh. The ski area is on the Franco/Italian border. A delightful ski area.

I did the taxibob with the driver in 2004, great fun  . Went back a year later with a different group of people and they were not offering that option (due to health and safety !) and would only do the raft bob version. Maybe they have sorted their health and safety issue out now ?
