Piste de luge de La Tzoumaz

This piste is located in the area of Savoleyres and is the longest sledge run in French-speaking Switzerland. Thrills are guaranteed on this run between Savoleyres and La Tzoumaz which has a drop in altitude of 834 metres – thanks to hairpin bends in the middle of the forest.

The toboggan run starts at Savoleyres station, just over 100 m from the actual starting point. At around 2,330 m, this is also the highest point of the route. From the start, the first bends lead across open terrain. The descent then heads towards Croix de Coeur, although it remains a good 200 m from the pass. Restaurant Savoleyres is also slightly off the route.

The toboggan run then steadily loses altitude. At first, broad open slopes dominate the scenery; further down, the first houses alternate with stretches of forest. Towards the end, the forest increasingly closes in on the route before the houses of La Tzoumaz become more closely spaced. Over a total distance of around five kilometres, the route descends almost 800 metres; just over an hour should be allowed for the run. The final bends lead into the village and the finish at around 1,530 m, just a few steps from La Tzoumaz station.
