Mountain karting in the spotlight!

It's time to discover or rediscover the mountains, and in particular mountain karting, in an all-terrain version.
Is mountain karting only for driving enthusiasts? Not true, beginners can try it out in complete safety.

Looking for a new sensation? Do you love the mountains? Then you'll love mountain go-karting at Chamrousse!
What if this was an opportunity for you? An opportunity to discover the mountains in a different way, a chance to try out new ways of getting down the slopes, and maybe even to rediscover yourself?
Top 5 reasons to try mountain karting in Chamrousse!

1) Full of thrills

Discover a new way to enjoy the mountains in summer, with an adventure worthy of Mario Kart at an altitude of over 1650 metres. Go-karting isn't just an urban activity, it's also an outdoor experience. It all starts with a leisurely ride up the mountain on a lift. Then it's time for the exhilarating descent, combining speed and adrenaline on board an all-terrain machine with a steering wheel. It's almost like deval karting, except that the mountain kart has 3 wheels (instead of 4) for more thrills, or it's closer to the off-road karting or buggy experience.

✔ On the fun side: challenge yourself during a downhill run in a mountain kart on the two parallel circuits (like slalom in winter).
❤ Little extra: admire the view from the finish ridge at the top of the ski lift, with a 360° panoramic view of the mountains and the Grenoble valley

2) Accessible

Mountain karting is accessible to everyone from the age of 10 and height of 1.35 metres, regardless of skill level or sporting ability. Unlike some more technical mountain sports, mountain karts are relatively easy to learn, making them accessible to a wide range of people, from beginners to the most experienced.
With an introductory price for a descent and no booking necessary, all you have to do is go straight to the cash desk and then let yourself be tempted by driving these little off-road racers.

✔ Practicalities: access to the go-kart track is easy from the centre of the resort at Chamrousse 1650 - Recoin (at the foot of the pistes).
❤ Little plus: the feeling of being close to the ground and going fast, without going too fast for all that

3) Exceptional natural setting

Enjoy a breath of fresh air and a bit of fresh air, far from the indoor karting hall in the heat of the valley. This is the outdoor and nature version. It's all to the good, enjoying beautiful mountain scenery while practising a sport, combining the pleasure of driving with an exceptional natural environment.
Welcome to a natural all-terrain go-kart track (a ski slope in winter), made of earth and grass, highlighting the natural relief of the resort with a double view. A village view of the Chamrousse 1650 resort centre and a mountain view of the summit of the resort, the Croix de Chamrousse, but also of the #Chamrousse sign (near the Col de la Balme at the arrival of the Casserousse chairlift in winter).

✔ Good to know: small relaxation/chill area with table and parasol to enjoy the scenery and wait for those who can't help but want to prolong the experience
❤ A little extra: if you're lucky, you'll have the support of the resort's shepherd's cows, which graze a little further up the mountain estate or mountain pastures

4) A variety of courses

The Aiguille track is divided into two sections, the first of which is a gentle slope with a wide bend to get the hang of it, followed by a second section with a slalom-type track profile and more bends for racing. Set yourself a personal challenge: test your reflexes and control on this varied and versatile course, before trying the fun and thrilling experience that's opening up for you: the kart battle, for a summer race out of the ordinary.
Small challenge: intersection with the footpaths to Robert lakes and the GR738 long-distance hiking trail.

✔ Good to know: safety equipment such as helmets provided in addition to the downhill machine (goggles as well as long-sleeved trousers and top recommended).
❤ Aim: slalom course improves riding technique and trajectory control, while adding an extra challenge to the classic downhill

5) An experience to share

Off-road go-karting is an ideal activity for a group adventure in Chamrousse. It's also a great way to share a fun-filled moment with an adult or child off-road go-kart. Take on challenges together, encourage each other and create unforgettable memories:

As a family: introduce your children aged 10 and over, 1m35 tall to sporty driving.
With friends: organise a wild go-kart competition
As a couple: enjoy an exhilarating experience side by side

✔ Good to know: you'll be driving a little racer from the Austrian brand Mountain Cart, which specialises in downhill karts
❤ Objective: define who will be the great kart champion in Chamrousse!

And if you come to Chamrousse to try out mountain karting, you're guaranteed a day of fun, adventure and discovery near Grenoble, in the heart of the French Alps.
