Treetop Adventure Park
Come and try out this adventure trail in the trees, at the Parc des Ecureuils, right next to the village.

Chairlift rides
At 200 metres from the campsite, take the Plateau chairlift to an altitude of 2,000 m to see the marmots, flowers, the communal flock, the panoramic view, and watch a paraglider taking off.
Taking the chairlift, experience this magical scenic viewpoint with its 360° panorama from the 2,300m-high ridge, go for refreshments at the Dormilleuse fort, at 2,500m, or you can go down the other side towards the high-altitude Col lakes.
Open every day during July and August and weekends only during off-season.
Paragliding
200 metres from the Village: paragliding school, and introductory flight and courses available.
Montclar is a paragliding mecca. The site, which benefits from a good height differential and an exceptional climate, is much appreciated by clubs. Numerous competitions are organised here. “Ushuaia: The Ultimate Adventure”, the famous TV programme on adventure and nature, was filmed here.
