Fatbike, a unique activity to try out this winter with the ESF!

The mountains are not just synonymous with skiing and delicious hot dishes. In resorts such as Val Thorens, there are many different types of activities on offer.

From simple hikes on the surrounding trails to thrilling sports, we've thought of everything to make your holiday unforgettable. Today, we'd like to draw your attention to the fatbike, an innovative way to ride through the powder.

This year, are you dreaming of a holiday that's out of the ordinary and guaranteed to blow your mind? In Val Thorens, we've got just what you need to make your stay immortal, with a winter you won't soon forget.

One of the many activities on offer in the heart of Savoie is fat biking. If the literal translation of 'fat bike' gives us an initial indication of the type of equipment involved, we'll try to give you some more details here.

In a nutshell, a fatbike is an electric bike specially designed for riding on snow. With its unobtrusive motor and oversized wheels, it lets you explore the most beautiful corners of the resort, while giving you plenty of thrills.

For an unforgettable experience, try a fatbike outing at dusk and admire the scenery from a whole new angle.

To ensure that your activity takes place in excellent conditions, we recommend that you prepare your outing. This preparation is based above all on the choice of your equipment, and in particular your clothing.

Just like skiing, you need technical clothing to protect you from the cold and damp, so that you stay dry throughout your outing, however long it may be.

You can add accessories such as gloves, walking boots or après-skis. It's also a good idea to wear a ski helmet, to ensure your safety.

Although fat biking is a relatively recent activity, having only appeared in Val Thorens a few years ago, it's already a real success. And with good reason, as part of your two-hour outing, you can enjoy an unforgettable moment, alongside your loved ones, while exploring the different corners of the resort.

If you want to guarantee the availability of slots during your stay in the mountains, we advise you to book your activity in advance.

It couldn't be easier. All you have to do is specify the dates of your stay in Val Thorens, and the various available slots will be presented to you.
