WHAT IS MOUNTAIN KARTING?

The Mountain Kart is a three-wheeled all-terrain kart specially designed for mountain slopes. With no engine and totally silent, it is controlled by gravity. You control your speed using two disc brakes, to ensure a safe descent. Its wide, stable design makes it extremely manoeuvrable, even for beginners.
Accessible to everyone at least 1.40m tall, this activity is perfect for all the family: children, teenagers, parents and even grandparents can enjoy the experience at their own pace. The backdrop is the sumptuous scenery of Flaine and the Grand Massif, from lush green mountain pastures to immaculate slopes. You’ll never look at the mountains the same way again after a go-karting experience that’s as panoramic as it is thrilling.
