Personal preparation
Most of the evening you will spend outside in the snow so please wear warm, waterproof clothes. For the sledging we recommend to bring a helmet for your own safety. Your shoes should have a good profile, be waterproof and high ancle. It is difficult and not comfortable to strap snowshoes around sneakers. The profile of your sole is important to be able to break on your sledge. If you get thirsty or hungry during the trek please bring a small back pack with water and some snacks if needed. If you are coming from Chamonix please do not forget your passport as we are crossing the border.

To ensure a smooth and fun evening we recommend to bring the following equipment:
- Gloves

- Suitable winter clothing (warm jacket / long underwear etc.)

Sledding slope
Sledding is an outdoor activity with lots of adrenaline! We make this experience as safe as possible with a good instruction, well-maintained gear and a professional secured slope.
Nevertheless, as in most outdoor activities, accidents can still happen. Please be aware that you descend the sledding slope at your own risk and Happy Tracks and the responsible guides cannot be held liable in the case of an accident!
Weather / snow conditions
The activity depends a lot on snow and weather conditions. It is possible that the tour has to be cancelled last minute due to unfavorable conditions. In this case we will give you a full refund or you can choose another date.
The sledding slope is not always possible due to snow and safety conditions. The community of Trient decides if the slope is open or closed and if it is safe to use. If the sledding is not possible, we will provide you a 5.- € discount / person but we cannot cancel the entire tour and refund you.

We will pick you up from your accommodation in the Chamonix-Valley. Please be ready with all personal gear to the confirmed pick up times to guarantee a smooth and hassle free experience.
